transparent + tinted terminal aterm compiled & works OK

[Frank-Michael Moser]

Harold,

Thank you for your immediate response.

I checked my installation and actually I already had libungif (4.1.0-2) 
installed via Cygwin setup. But even though I have just reinstalled 
libungif the compilation of libAfter complains:

gcc asview.o common.o -L../ -L../../libAfterBase -lAfterImage 
-lAfterBase -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lfreetype -ltiff  -ljpeg -lpng -lgif -lz 
-lm  -lX11  -rdynamic  -L/usr/X11R6/lib   -lSM -lICE  -o asview
gcc: unrecognized option `-rdynamic'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: 
cannot find -lgif
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Maybe -lgif should be -lungif ?
