Hi

Just found out that the reason tiff was not being detected was because I
had to run "i686-pc-mingw32-ranlib" on the DLL files. mingw32-gtk2 is
now compiling with TIFF support from this package
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=204414&package_id=245154&release_id=650119

I will see if I can compile it statically. For now just add
"--disable-gdiplus" to the configure line in the spec file.

Med Venlig Hilsen / Kind Regards
