* Optional image library support
To build Emacs with support for PNG images, the libpng and zlib
headers must be in the include path when the configure script is
run. This can be setup using environment variables, or by
specifying --cflags -I... options on the command-line to
configure.bat. Similarly, the jpeg-6b, libXpm, tiff and libungif
headers need to be in the include path for support for those image
formats to work. The configure script will report whether it was
In addition to its "native" image formats (pbm and xbm), Emacs can
handle other image types: xpm, tiff, gif, png and jpeg (postscript is
currently unsupported on Windows). To build Emacs with support for
them, the corresponding headers must be in the include path when the
configure script is run. This can be setup using environment
variables, or by specifying --cflags -I... options on the command-line
to configure.bat. The configure script will report whether it was
able to detect the headers.
To use the PNG support, zlib.dll (or zlibd.dll) and libpng.dll (or
libpng13.dll, or libpng13d.dll) must be on the PATH or in the same
directory as emacs.exe when Emacs is started. Similar instructions
apply for other image libraries. Note that tiff support depends on
the jpeg library. If you did not compile the libraries yourself, you
must make sure that the jpeg library you install is the same one
that the tiff library was compiled against.
To use the external image support, the DLLs implementing the
functionality must be found when Emacs is started, either on the PATH,
or in the same directory as emacs.exe. Failure to find a library is
not an error; the associated image format will simply be unavailable.
Some image libraries have dependencies on one another, or on zlib.
For example, tiff support depends on the jpeg library. If you did not
compile the libraries yourself, you must make sure that any dependency
is in the PATH or otherwise accesible and that the binaries are
compatible (for example, that they were built with the same compiler).
Binaries for the image libraries (among many others) can be found at
GnuWin32 (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net). These are built with
MinGW and work better with GCC/MinGW builds of Emacs, like the
official binary tarballs for Windows. Compatibility with MSVC is
still weak and should not be trusted in production environments; if
you really need an MSVC-compiled Emacs with image support, you should
try to build the required libraries with the same compiler (though it
can be extremely non-trivial, and we'll be interested on hearing of
any such effort).
