[XeTeX] xdvipdfmx broken on Windows Vista?

[Jonathan Kew]

Thanks for the testing and report, Bruno.

It *should* be possible to use the --with-pnglib-libdir and --with- 
pnglib-include options to use the static version of the lib, but I  
have not tried this lately.

Is this a typing error? Surely it should be /usr/local/include/libpng12.

No, those wouldn't help at this point, sorry. That's what you'd use  
when building the library from source, if you want only the .a and  
not .dylib to be created and installed.

Anyhow, on to the results:

True - it always has been a bit fussy.

I have just now committed the Mar 7 patches to SVN (rev. 87), so  
they're part of the trunk now.

Thanks,
