Hi there, I have compiled the beta3 of libtiff-4.0. As the makefile.vc
I have to do is to: states, all

nmake /f makefile.vc

I did that and everything went ok. Meaning I created a libtiff.lib and

> libtiff.dll. But I cannot link to it. I get the following errors:

1>read_image.obj: error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol

> __imp__TIFFClose referenced in function _wmain

This sounds like a dllimport/dllexport issue. Since libtiff does not decorate the code with dllimport/dllexport, it seems likely that including libtiff/libtiff.def into your project will help. This will tell MSVC which functions are exported.
