    like this, we recommend the use of the supported compilers mentioned

  * Optional image library support
  
!   To build Emacs with support for PNG images, the libpng and zlib
!   headers must be in the include path when the configure script is
!   run.  This can be setup using environment variables, or by
!   specifying --cflags -I...  options on the command-line to
!   configure.bat.  Similarly, the jpeg-6b, libXpm, tiff and libungif
!   headers need to be in the include path for support for those image
!   formats to work. The configure script will report whether it was
    able to detect the headers.
  
!   To use the PNG support, zlib.dll (or zlibd.dll) and libpng.dll (or
!   libpng13.dll, or libpng13d.dll) must be on the PATH or in the same
!   directory as emacs.exe when Emacs is started. Similar instructions
!   apply for other image libraries. Note that tiff support depends on
!   the jpeg library. If you did not compile the libraries yourself, you
!   must make sure that the jpeg library you install is the same one
!   that the tiff library was compiled against.

  * Optional image library support
  
!   In addition to its "native" image formats (pbm and xbm), Emacs can
!   handle other image types: xpm, tiff, gif, png and jpeg (postscript is
!   currently unsupported on Windows).  To build Emacs with support for
!   them, the corresponding headers must be in the include path when the
!   configure script is run.  This can be setup using environment
!   variables, or by specifying --cflags -I... options on the command-line
!   to configure.bat.  The configure script will report whether it was
    able to detect the headers.
  
!   To use the external image support, the DLLs implementing the
!   functionality must be found when Emacs is started, either on the PATH,
!   or in the same directory as emacs.exe.  Failure to find a library is
!   not an error; the associated image format will simply be unavailable.
! 
!   Some image libraries have dependencies on one another, or on zlib.
!   For example, tiff support depends on the jpeg library.  If you did not
!   compile the libraries yourself, you must make sure that any dependency
!   is in the PATH or otherwise accesible and that the binaries are
!   compatible (for example, that they were built with the same compiler).
! 
!   Binaries for the image libraries (among many others) can be found at
!   GnuWin32 (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net).  These are built with
!   MinGW and work better with GCC/MinGW builds of Emacs, like the
!   official binary tarballs for Windows.  Compatibility with MSVC is
!   still weak and should not be trusted in production environments; if
!   you really need an MSVC-compiled Emacs with image support, you should
!   try to build the required libraries with the same compiler (though it
!   can be extremely non-trivial, and we'll be interested on hearing of
!   any such effort).
