2015.08.29 15:36 "Re: [Tiff] [patch] Docs for cmake build and some minor tweaks", by Bob Friesenhahn

Adds documentation to build.html for building with CMake.

- Adds cmake section, copied from the autoconf/UNIX build section

May need a bit of proofreading; it's the first plain HTML I've edited since 1999!

The patch is applied to CVS 'as is'. Please verify.

It also adds a couple of tweaks:

- adds ld-version-script option to cmake build to match autoconf
   (note: defaults to on to be ABI-compatible by default with all Linux

distribution builds; worth also switching the autoconf default to ON to match the distributions as well since it's disabled if unavailable?) Otherwise builds aginst custom libtiff builds won't run on most distributions due to symbol mismatches (and vice-versa).

With the many tens of Linux distributions existing which are managed by different people, it is difficult or impossible to qualify "all Linux distribution builds".

Changing the autoconf default might not be reasonable since it may cause issues for those who built libtiff without the option.
