Re: [Swftools-common] Undefined symbols _PrintGifError when building swftools using macports

[List_Subs]

Hi Simon,

I'm not a Mac user, but,

   http://www.apple.com/opensource/

states giflib as being at 4.1.6.

I have 0.9.2 happily compiled against the same version.

Is it really essential for you use 4.2.0? 

Regards,



Chris.
