1997.01.24 13:29 "Shared libtiff on HP/UX 9.01 with c89", by Ulrik Dickow

In tiff-v3.4beta035/html/bugs.html Sam Leffler says:

OK, so here's my contribution.  To build libtiff (v3.4beta035) as a shared
library on HP/UX 9.01 with the c89 compiler, add a single line to `configure'
as indicated by this patch:

===========================================================================

Otherwise the tiff tools won't be able to find libtiff.sl when the build
directory has been deleted (and libtiff.sl installed in e.g. /usr/local/lib).
Note that linking with `-L... -ltiff' instead of `.../libtiff.sl' is needed.
The `+s' is optional; it makes the tools search SHLIB_PATH before looking in
the `+b' directory.

(The `+b' option in libtiff/Makefile.in doesn't help the tools find libtiff.)
