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.

Or he could take the suggestion made by someone else in this thread of simply building from source in VC6, including the dependent libraries (ZLIB, JPEG) which build quite easily with recent VC (don't remember about v6).

No. I've implemented the functionalities from scratch in VC++6. Therefore no compression ability.

I just thought that I can use libtiff as a DLL and use functions as TIFFReadEncodedStrip() etc without compiling libtiff myself.

I'm a bit confused. Where (or how) did you obtain the libtiff DLL that you are currently using?
