Hi, had to install CL-GD on a machine that didn't have the GIF support. I incorporated a test in the Makefile of the wrapper code to remove the dependency on GIF related functions if GIF support was not detected on the host machine:

It is probably too ugly to be realesed but I hope it can help you in doing a version of CL-GD that would work on machines with and without the GIF support.
Thanks for this. As you already guessed I'm a bit reluctant to incorporate this into the release. This is mainly because the Makefile is a contributed file that I don't plan to maintain. With your addition the .asd system defition might be modified by make. I had a very simple "solution" up to version 0.4.1 of CL-GD where you had to manually add a keyword to *FEATURES* in order to build GIF support. I've removed this because I thought that GIF support should be available to all GD users by now. Maybe the easiest way to cope with old GD libs is to revert to the 0.4.1 situation but with GIF support being the default now? Cheers, Edi.
