I wasn't aware of the PECL deps, but after a quick check, the available libtiff seems to be fine to build libgd with TIFF support for Windows. (Also there is fontconfig, what is more than I had hoped for. :)) BTW, is there some publicly available repo for the sources of pecl/deps? > For now AFAIR, it's only used as a dependency in some of the Gnome libs.

I don't know (yet) whether libjpeg-turbo would be an improvement, so at the moment I'm fine to stick with the classic libjpeg. :) Cheers, Christoph
