[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: emacs
Version: 24.3.50

The configure script fails to recognize the gif_lib.h header file for
gif 5.0 and so prints an error that git support can not be found.

The gif_lib.h header file has been reorganized for gif 5.0.  There is no
longer a EGifPutExtensionLast function.  However there is a new
GifMakeMapObject I used in my patch.  A better way would probably be to
look at the new GIFLIB_MAJOR define now in gif_lib.h.

I have included a patch, but I do not have many OS/platforms that I
can check.  I am far from understanding autoconfig, but my attempt at a
fix (git patch) is included below:

[emacs-gif-5.patch (text/x-diff, attachment)]
