4.7.0. That particular workaround results in a Windows-hosted 64-bit
targetted mingw that can build a qpdf that passes its test suite.
As of this writing, the image comparison tests confuse ghostscript in
cygwin, but there's a chance they might work at some point. If you
want to run them, you need ghostscript and tiff utils as well, and you
will need to add --enable-test-compare-images from the configure
statements given below.
Additionally for Windows, some tests require 3rd party software which
most likely is not available if not provided by an environment like
MSYS, Cygwin or such, but can be downloaded separately as well for an
environment not using both of the former mentioned. Just extract or
install the following software into separate folders each and add the
"bin" folder to your "PATH" env variable to make executables and DLLs
available. If installers are provided, they might do that already by
default.
Image comparison tests are disabled by default, but it is possible to
run them on Windows. To do so, add --enable-test-compare-images from
the configure statements given below and install some additional
third-party dependencies. These may be provided in an environment such
as MSYS or Cygwin or can be downloaded separately for other
environments. You may extract or install the following software into
separate folders each and add the "bin" folder to your "PATH"
environment variable to make executables and DLLs available. If

GhostScript is needed for image comparison tests. It's important
that the binary is available as "gs", while its default name is
"gswin32[c].exe". So you need to provide an additional "gs.exe"
by copying one of the original files or use "mklink" to create a
hard-/softlink, or need to provide a custom "gs.cmd" wrapper which
simply forwards all args to one of the original binarys. Using
"mkink" with "gswin32c.exe" should be preferred.

that works with Microsoft VC6. Several changes are required, but they
