He is not currently using a libtiff DLL, because he implemented TIFF reading and writing from scratch himself. He did download a libtiff DLL from gnuwin32 ( http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/tiff.htm ) to see if he could use it, but hasn't succeeded in linking to it. Weichao, you could try to download not just the "Binaries" from there, but also the "Developer files". The lib directory in that zip file contains a libtiff.lib, which might work with MSVC. It also contains the include files like tiff.h that you will need.

Where (or how) did you obtain the libtiff DLL that you are currently using? -Edward
