21      Other compilers may work, but specific reports from people that have
22      tried suggest that the Intel C compiler (for example) may produce an

25      like this, we recommend the use of the supported compilers mentioned

85    * Optional image library support
86    
87      To build Emacs with support for PNG images, the libpng and zlib
88      headers must be in the include path when the configure script is
89      run.  This can be setup using environment variables, or by
90      specifying --cflags -I...  options on the command-line to
91      configure.bat.  Similarly, the jpeg-6b, libXpm, tiff and libungif
92      headers need to be in the include path for support for those image
93      formats to work. The configure script will report whether it was
94      able to detect the headers.
95    
96      To use the PNG support, zlib.dll (or zlibd.dll) and libpng.dll (or
97      libpng13.dll, or libpng13d.dll) must be on the PATH or in the same
98      directory as emacs.exe when Emacs is started. Similar instructions
99      apply for other image libraries. Note that tiff support depends on
100      the jpeg library. If you did not compile the libraries yourself, you
101      must make sure that the jpeg library you install is the same one
102      that the tiff library was compiled against.
