I am building an application, which is depending on the libtiff.lib. I had no problem when I build with Visual Studio 2003.

But I got the following link error when I build with Visual Studio 2008 express.

LINK: fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'LIBC.lib'

The two build happened on two different machine. The one with Visual Studio 2008 express doesn't have Visual Studio 2003 installed.

This is nothing to do with libtiff, but the solution is to set up your LIB environment variable correctly (to include the VS runtime library directories) before building. You can find the right path by locating the libc.lib file in your Visual Studio Express installation.
