Hello everybody,
my name is Ruediger and I am in this mailinglist for just a few weeks. I have just begun using libtiff, and I need some help for getting started quick. I hope somebody can tell me how to use/compile programms using libtiff v3.4 on a WinNT 4.0 SP4 Workstation with MS Visual C++ 6.0, or tell me a link to a good guide on how using libtiff.
e.g. what will I have to do to compile this program?
Do I have to precompile the libtiff?
Do I have to set some path to libtiff?
If I just try to compile this program, I can compile, but then I get a link error (unresolved external symbol), and I don't know which library to use.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "tiffio.h"
void main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
TIFF* tif = TIFFOpen(argv[1], "r");
if (tif) {
int dircount = 1;
do {
dircount++;
} while (TIFFReadDirectory(tif));
printf("%d directories in %s\n", dircount, argv[1]);
TIFFClose(tif);
}
exit(0);
}
Thank you very much for your help,
I look forward hearing from you,
with best regards,
Ruediger
