Hello all, I experienced minor building inconveniences using makefile.vc in tiff-3.6.1 in combination with the MS Visual Studio version 6 C compiler. - libtiff linking with jpeg support requires that the jpeg library is added, i.e., LIBS = $(JPEGDIR)/libjpeg.lib must be specified in makefile.vc - fax2ps.c doesnot compile, fax2ps.c.orig is fine in this respect. - _TIFFFieldWithTag is used in tif_pdsdirread.c, but is neither defined in this file or exported by libtiff. - The same applies to TIFFSetTagExtender, which is used in libgeotiff-1.2.1\libxtiff\xtiff.c Exports are defined in the .def file. Preferable seems to be to use __declspec(dllexport) in the source, as is done in geotiff. According to the manual, declaring functions as dllexport eliminates the need for a module-definition (.DEF) file, at least with respect to the specification of exported functions.
