2006.04.03 13:14 "Re: WORDS_BIGENDIAN makes libtiff platform dependent", by Edward Lam
Sorry, I should have taken a close look first. Looking in tif_open.c, we have:
{ union { int32 i; char c[4]; } u; u.i = 1; bigendian = u.c[0] == 0; }
Thus, libtiff was automatically detecting the endianness as Joris mentioned.
So the real question is: Why did we change it? Andrey/Frank?
