I'm attempting to build libtiff using the freely available Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. Following the build instructions, I've done the following: 1. Modified libtiff\tiffconf.h to comment-out the entries for JPEG_SUPPORT, PIXARLOG_SUPPORT, and ZIP_SUPPORT (because, at this point, I don't have libjpeg or zlib built either). 2. Executed the Visual C++ command-line environment setup script. @"C:\Program Files\Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86 3. Changed into the libtiff directory and typed the following: nmake /f makefile.vc clean nmake /f makefile.vc I receive the following error: tif_unix.c(185) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory Looking at tif_unix.c, it contains the following code: #ifdef __WIN32__ #include <windows.h> ...etc... I searched the entire installation Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition directory for windows.h, and nothing came back. So.... my question is - has anyone successfully built libtiff using this compiler? If so, can you describe what steps you followed? Thanks!
