Description

With earlier versions, I used to compile a static version of gdk-pixbuf with

--disable-modules --with-libjasper --with-included-loaders=ani,icns,pcx,ras,tga,png,pnm,wbmp,xbm,xpm,qtif,bmp,gif,ico,jpeg,tiff,jasper --enable-static

Starting with 2.32, this now fails due to a syntax error in configure, apparently: Individually, each of the loaders can be compiled in (--with-includd-loaders=SINGLE_LOADER). Some combinations also work (--with-included-loaders=ani,tga,png), but others do not (--with-included-loaders=ani,tga,png,pcx). They throw lots of

Judging from the configure script, some formats were removed, so I can work around this, but configure /should/ throw a proper error message instead of failing this way..
