Whats the name of the package lib in Linux? This will need to be adjusted in Ubuntu/Linux readmes as well
libgif-dev: library for GIF images (development) <<-- will defenetly need to add that to readmes...
libgif4 <-- actual lib for users only I presume installing libgif-dev will also install libgif4

ok idk if theres version 5 in ubuntu repos at all, so compile?
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/vie...iflib.html then giflib also has a dependency according to that page.
Ah right I see the makefile there, nvm ignore me
its make -C lib/giflib && make -C lib/giflib install

animated gifs at such a scale will be HUGE and IMO a no go for skins. There is a reason why video compression has been invented for this kind of animations. It might probably be better to code those animated backgrounds up with python - so having a static background with timer triggered gif overlays (depending on type of animation ofc)
