2009.10.07 20:17 "Re: [Tiff] Wrong Native Bit Order on Intel x86_64", by Bob Friesenhahn

In the tiff-4.0 source code, I traced the problem to line 16124 of the configure script (or line 327 of configure.ac), where the script checks for i*86* instead of i*86*|x86_64. there is a good   Unless reason for the native bit order to be MSB-to-LSB on x86_64, I believe that this is a bug and needs to be corrected so that all Intel and AMD x86 varieties are properly identified as LSB-to-MSB architectures.

This issue is now fixed in libtiff CVS.

Hopefully someone will speak up if this was the wrong decision.

Bob
