I got past this step. I setup the XCB_CFLAGS and XCB_LIBS environment 
variables instead so that works.  I also had to setup environment variables 
for SHM and Render. Although I've set things up so as to link against my 
pthreadGC2 dll there is still one place (at least) which is still causing it 
to link against -lpthread which fails for me....tried making changes within 
Makefile.am but didn't work so as a quick hack setup a symlink between 
libpthread.a and my pthreadGC2.dll so I got through this step.

In order to get a DLL I tried doing what I did for XCB i.e. in configure.ac I 
put in an AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL before AC_PROG_LIBTOOL. Also in Makefile.am I 
put in a libxcb_image_LDFLAGS=-no-undefined. (reciting by memory so hope I 
haven't made a mistake writing this but I think this seems what I did)

Everything goes through now but under image/.libs all i can see is a 
libxcb-image.a and a .la file....no dll...so I'm guessing something more 
needs to be done....any ideas?

Bye for now
