Thanks a lot for your help guys, I'm *ALMOST* there now! I downloaded LibTiff from ftp.remotesensing.org tiff-3.8.2.zip, installed it in C:\Program Files\tiff-3.8.2, edited libtiff\tiffconf.h and commented out... /* #define JPEG_SUPPORT 1 */ /* #define PIXARLOG_SUPPORT 1 */ /* #define ZIP_SUPPORT 1 */ as suggested in the documentation (after discovering it was indeed necessary) There is no tiff-3.8.2\include folder, but I found a bunch of *.h files in tiff-3.8.2\libtiff. Now in Visual Studio, in my TestLibTiff project I did Project > Properties > C/C++ > Additional Include Directories, added "C:\Program Files\tiff-3.8.2\libtiff" Project > Properties > Linker > Additional library directories, added "C:\Program Files\tiff-3.8.2\libtiff" In stdafx.h added #include "tiffio.h" then [F5] (build solution) and I get this error: Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _TIFFOpen referenced in function _wmain TestTiffLib.obj Error 2 fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals C:\Documents and Settings\Flight Landata\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\TestTiffLib\Debug\TestTiffLib.exe 1 Any idea what I might be missing?
