This is from the README.MinGW. I'm pretty sure these are the ones I have and they work...
libtiff, libjpeg, and zlib Needed for image handling support in the GNUstep gui libary(not required for GNUstep-base, though zlib can be used by the base library).
Get the binary packages from - http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/tiff-3.5.7-lib.zip http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/tiff-3.5.7-bin.zip http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/libjpeg-6b-lib.zip http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/libjpeg-6b-bin.zip http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/zlib-1.1.4-lib.zip http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/zlib-1.1.4-bin.zip
