Yes, you can. However, you will also have to use GCC to build
your application and you will need to distribute the required
Cygnus runtime DLLs with it.
Version 4.0 of GifLib requires you to add -lX11 to LIBS and all
the makefiles. (Version 3.X did not require this.)
The font2h utility allow you to embed a font within the
application's executable so that you do not need to distribute the
BDF font file with the executable.
You bet... Just email any patches to cknudsen@radix.net.
