Is it straightforward to compile the distribution source for libtiff3, jpeg62 and zlib1 as

say a set of static libraries? Is there guidance available other that the Makefiles.

I haven't done it before since our setup was done by me. I imagine it

                                                ^not

should be straightforward. It should be just a matter of changing the calls to compiler/linker.

I really recommend setting up make. There's a win32 version of make that you can compile as well although I'm not sure how well it works. We're using the cygwin version of gnu make.

Yes, but we compile it ourselves.

Offhand, I'd double-check that your application is either compiled in release mode or linked with the release C runtime libraries (eg. -MD).

Also double-check if the regular distribution programs like tiffinfo.exe work. If those work but not your program, then it's your fault. :)

Anybody here use the win32 version of libtiff?
