Yes, but we compile it ourselves.
Offhand, I'd double-check that your application is either compiled in release mode or linked with the release C runtime libraries (eg. -MD).
Also double-check if the regular distribution programs like tiffinfo.exe work. If those work but not your program, then it's your fault. :)

Anybody here use the win32 version of libtiff?
I recently installed the win32 libraries/dlls precompiled BINARIES from Sourceforge Gnuwin32 project website and linked the library to my program to use the high level methods for reading tiffs.
I am able to use the library routines successfully to read from tiffs and render the data... in fact there is no tangible problem to report in the results.
However, I did run the debugger anyway to check for access violations that were not caught at runtime.
In my program, I declared:
TIFF *tif ;
Two breakpoints are set in the program called "tiffread.exe".
#1 breakpoint is placed immediately before the line:
tif = TIFFOpen( "..\\images\\barbara.tif", "r" );
At #1 the Debug Log gives an expected output:
----- Win32 Debug Session #01 --------
Program load @0x00400000 PID 0x000009C4 TID 0x00000D44

Loading msvcrt.dll @0x77C10000
Loading zlib1.dll @0x61B80000#2 breakpoint immediately after TIFFOpen is called
At #2 the Debug Log gives an unexpected output showing an Access Violation:
----- Win32 Debug Session #01 --------

Access Violation at address 0x7C96CC82The program pointer is pointing at "ntdll.dll" and a Debug message appears
[Debug Messages]
HEAP[tiffread.exe]:
Invalid Address specified to RtlFreeHeap( 00140000, 0014A640 )
Although the program continues to run correctly with no more Access Violations, and I do get all the image data read out correctly, this concerns me that there may be a potential for a memory leak. Does anyone else have any ideas?
