This is an update of the port of TIFF library and tools 3.8.2 to MSDOS/DJGPP.
DJGPP specific changes.
=======================
The file /lib/libtiff.la of the previous port included explicitly by the
configuration proccess the c library in the dependency library command.
This means that the libtiff.la dependency line looks like this:
dependency_libs=' /dev/env/DJDIR/lib/libjpeg.la -lz -lm -lc'
Notice the last `-lc´ entry in the line.
When libtool uses this file to link the tiff library to another application,
gpp links two times against the c library makeing the link stage fail.
I have also fixed a bug in the library source code an update is higly
recommended for everyone that seriously uses this library. As usual all
changes are documentetd in /djgpp/diffs.
To configure and compile the package and later to use it, you will have
to install the zlib, the png and the lossless jpeg port, all available
at ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/zlib123b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/png1215b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/ljpeg6b.zip
or:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/zlib123b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/png1215b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/ljpeg6b.zip
Of course, you can download a newer version of zlib, png and ljpeg if
available. The zlib, png and ljpeg stored in /current have been compiled
with djdev203 and are intented for use with Win98SE. Those ones from /beta
are compiled with djdeb204 beta for the use with WinXP-SP2.
Please **read** the docs. There are no info formated docs.
All the extensive documentation is html formated and placed in
/share/doc/tiff-3.8-2/html.
The port consists of two packages that have been compiled using djdev203 and
that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2007-02-20):

LibTIFF 3.8.2 source:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/tiff382s.zip
For the convenience of the WinXP users the binaries has been produced
a second time using the djdev204 beta library. This package is available
at ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2007-02-20):
