Technically, gtk+ (on Windows, and all other platforms) as a whole has always depended on the jpeg and tiff libraries. In my earlier Windows builds, the dependencies on the jpeg and tiff dlls were in the separate gdk-pixbuf loader dlls for the jpeg and tiff formats. (Check the dependencies of the libpixbufloader-jpeg.dll and libpixbufloader-tiff.dll files in lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders from a gtk+ 2.10 distribution.) In 2.12.0 I built in the loaders into the gdk-pixbuf library. There are no separate loader dlls. This has the benefit that there are less files in the gtk+ distribution, and there is one less thing that might go wrong, as the built-in loaders don't need to be listed in a gdk-pixbuf.loaders file. But as you have noticed, those who use gdk-pixbuf but not for jpeg or tiff images, have earlier managed without the jpeg and tiff dlls even though they technically have been a requirement. They haven't been able to load jpeg and tiff images with gdk-pixbuf, but if they haven't had the need to, they haven't noticed. If I get more complaints like yours, I guess I will have to revert this, and build the loaders separately again. --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
