What is the difference between tiff_config.h and Tiffconf.h
If their purpose is same why are both included in the libtiff source?
The purpose is described at the top of tiffconf.h:
Configuration defines for installed libtiff.
This file maintained for backward compatibility. Do not use definitions
from this file in your programs.
So one of them is a legacy header which must continue to exist in order for existing (legacy) applications to continue to compile.
