I also noticed the missing DLL's while compiling gimp with MSYS/MinGW
In fact, what happens is that when linking with ZLIB.DLL, the exe expects ZLIB-1.DLL instead of ZLIB1.DLL. (or vice-versa). I copied the names that were closest to the ones expected... 48793 Aug 24 2002 regex.dll 48793 Aug 24 2002 libregex.dll 70656 Dec 13 2003 zlib1.dll 70656 Dec 13 2003 zlib-1.dll 460800 May 9 2004 freetype6.dll 460800 May 9 2004 freetype-6.dll 203264 Dec 4 2004 libpng13.dll 203264 Dec 4 2004 libpng.dll 127488 May 15 14:08 jpeg62.dll 127488 May 15 14:08 jpeg-62.dll So the "missing dll's" in question are a build-environment issue, and not a gimp-compilation issue... So the suggestion to copy dll's from the previous stable version wasn't that bad a suggestion either... it would have prevented a lot of confusion if the names of the dll's were listed ... of course it would be nice to have those resolved too... _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
