To support XPM images (required for color tool-bar icons), you will
need the libXpm library. It is available from the ezwinports site,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/ and from
- http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/.
+ http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/.
For PNG images, we recommend to use versions 1.4.x and later of
libpng, because previous versions had security issues. You can find
precompiled libraries and headers on the ezwinports site and on
- alpha.gnu.
+ ftp.gnu.org.
Versions 1.4.0 and later of libpng are binary incompatible with
earlier versions, so Emacs will only look for libpng libraries which
giflib, as it is much enhanced wrt previous versions. You can find
precompiled binaries and headers for giflib on the ezwinports site,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/ and on
- http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/.
+ http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/.
Version 5.0.0 and later of giflib are binary incompatible with
previous versions (the signatures of several functions have
For JPEG images, you will need libjpeg 6b or later, which will be
called libjpeg-N.dll, jpeg62.dll, libjpeg.dll, or jpeg.dll. You can
- find these on the ezwinports site and on alpha.gnu.
+ find these on the ezwinports site and on ftp.gnu.org.
TIFF images require libTIFF 3.0 or later, which will be called
libtiffN.dll or libtiff-N.dll or libtiff.dll. These can be found on
because the compiler needs to see their header files when building
Emacs.

For runtime support of libxml2, you will also need to install the
libiconv "development" tarball, because the libiconv headers need to
