[Gimp-developer] List of dependencies (versions and configuration options) for GIMP on Windows

[Jehan Pagès <jehan marmottard gmail com>]

Hi Jernej, or any other developer able to answer before,

This is a question about the official Windows build, which I
understand you are the maintainer of.

A user has a problem with fonts on Windows. Fonts with no bold/italic
typeface usually can have a simulated bold/italic version. I tested it
on Linux, it indeed works well, but not on Windows. I think that Pango
is taking care of it since it has such a feature.

Anyway the user says this was working fine on GIMP 2.8.4, but not on
GIMP 2.8.6. So I compiled GIMP master, GIMP 2.8.6, 2.8.4 and even
older versions. I also tried older versions of pango, freetype, etc.
Well I never was able to have this work on Windows.
Would you mind telling me exactly the list of dependencies included in
your builds, their versions and the configure options?
Thanks!

Jehan
