gd has built-in gif support and doesn't use giflib. I've added a test to confirm this:

In addition to trying the `--disable-gif` configure option, could you send the config.log file that is generated without the option - I'd like to see how it's checking for gif support.

Okay, the pcb source has some strange logic to look for -lbgd instead of -lgd, and for some other reason doesn't detect gd functionality correctly. To build pcb:

tar xf pcb-20110918.tar.gz

cd pcb-20110918/

sed -i 's,GD=bgd,GD=gd,g' configure

./configure \

    --host=i686-pc-mingw32 \

    --prefix='/Users/tonyt/dev/mxe/usr/i686-pc-mingw32' \

    --disable-update-desktop-database \

    --disable-update-mime-database \

    --disable-doc \

    GDLIB_CONFIG=/Users/tonyt/dev/mxe/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/bin/gdlib-config \

    ac_cv_func_gdImageGif=yes \

    ac_cv_func_gdImageJpeg=yes \

    ac_cv_func_gdImagePng=yes

make

You'll end up with a pcb.exe in the src/ directory that is ~50MB in size (and probably more convenient to share with customers/colleagues).

Cheers,
