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.
* LibJpeg (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/jpeg.htm)
This archive provides some needed DLLs for LibTiff if you want to
use the image comparison tests.
* LibTiff (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/tiff.htm)
This archive provides some needed binaries and DLLs if you want to
use the image comparison tests and is only working if DLLs from
LibJpeg are available as well.
* GhostScript (http://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html)
GhstScript is needed for image comparison tests and 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
are well documented in his port. You can find the VC6 port in the
