Bug ID: 35631 Summary: Add giflib support Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: mathieu.malaterre@gmail.com
It would be easier for package maintainer if wine would build out of the box using a system installed giflib.
Basically this would help us toward closing https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=466181

--- Comment #1 from Dmitry Timoshkov dmitry@baikal.ru --- giflib creates completely different chunks of data in comparison to what WIC expects, for that reason it can't be used as a replacement for the forked giflib inside of WIC.
Security concerns are mostly an artificial problem IMHO.

--- Comment #2 from Jerome Leclanche adys.wh@gmail.com --- dmitry: I think what Mathieu wants is a --with-system-giflib. Would it break all gif functionality or just some specific use cases?

--- Comment #4 from Jerome Leclanche adys.wh@gmail.com --- Alright, closing.
Maybe upstreaming some of the changes (or making them a compile-time option for giflib) should be considered?

Feel free to do that, all the changes are in dlls/windowscodecs/ungif.c
