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 Mikkel Kruse Johnsen Adm.Dir.
