    cd nt

    configure --with-gcc --no-opt --enable-checking
    --cflags -Ic:/xpm/include --distfiles c:/xpm/bin/libXpm.dll
    --without-tiff --without-gif --with out-jpeg --without-png

    mingw32-make dist

    This should create 2 zip files in your nt directory which contain the
    binary distributions (full and bin only).

    That's correct. libXpm.dll is the only file you need.

    If you can't get it to work, do this:

    mingw32-make install > build.log 2>&1

    This will create a file build.log in nt with all the output from
    make. Send me the file offlist and I will try to help troubleshoot
    this.

    For what it's worth, I just build and packaged the latest trunk and it
    worked fine.

Thank you.  I've been rushing ...
