I would like to use Emacs 64bit Windows version to view images sometimes, PNG images and JPEG images mostly. The README file says:

Emacs can also support some other image formats with appropriate libraries. These libraries are all available on the following sites:

  1. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/ -- leaner, more up-to-date builds, only for 32-bit Emacs
  2. http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php
    http://www.gtk.org/download/win64.php -- the GTK project site; offers much fatter builds, but includes 64-bit DLLs (from the 2nd URL)
  3. GnuWin32 project -- very old builds, not recommended

The URLs in the 2nd point are no longer valid. I've googled a lot and still haven't found a place to download 64bit image libraries.

I used to use Emacs 32bit and I could download the image libraries from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/

Question is, now using the 64bit, where can I can download the PNG & JPEG image libraries?

  • The following link contains a 64-bit build that includes the dll files: sourceforge.net/projects/emacsbinw64 Last time I checked, Eli Z. doesn't use the 64-bit. Someone did a time-test a few months ago and found that the 64-bit was actually slower. I have no idea what all the "hoopla" is about using a 64-bit.

  • @lawlist Thank you. I'm using this build instead of the GNU build now.

The Wayback Machine has archives of both those gtk pages and the binaries are available to download on both.
