Hi all,

This applies to building libtiff 3.7 (or 3.6.1) with zlib 1.2.1 for windows with Visual CPP

I could not get the libtiff.dll or the tools exes to build when linking in zlib 1.2.1

It worked fine with zlib 1.1.4, but with 1.2.1 I got linker errors from MSVCRT.LIB

In case anyone else is having the same problem, here's how to fixed it:

In nmake.opt
Change:

LD = link /nologo

To

LD = link /nologo /NODEFAULTLIB:"MSVCRT.LIB"

In Makefile.vc (in the Tools directory)
Change:

$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $*.c $(EXTRA_OBJ) $(LIBS)

To:

$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $*.c /link /NODEFAULTLIB:"MSVCRT.LIB" $(EXTRA_OBJ) $(LIBS)

I'm not much of a batch file and command line kind of guy, so maybe Andrey or somebody else can do a better job of it. You'll probably want the conditional control statements for ZLIB support in there.
