Introduction to LibTIFF

This software provides support for the Tag Image File Format (TIFF), a widely used format for storing image data.

Project Homepage: http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/

Dependencies

Optional

• libjpeg
• X Window System
• FreeGLUT or MesaLib (Which Provides a GLUT Library)

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

Install the package

make install

Multilib

Note: On some architectures, the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of /usr/include/tiffconf.h are incompatible. It is easy enough to move them to -32 and -64 versions, and then diff them. If they differ on your architecture, you will have to find a way of changing (and unsetting) the symlinks according to what you are building. If you already use a script to set USE_ARCH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH, you can do it there.

32Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD32}" \
USE_ARCH=32 LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib" \
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv /usr/include/tiffconf{,-32}.h

N32

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILDN32}" \
USE_ARCH=n32 LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib32" \
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib32 &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv /usr/include/tiffconf{,-n32}.h

64Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD64}" \
USE_ARCH=64 LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64" \
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv /usr/include/tiffconf{,-64}.h

Creating a Stub Header (Multilib Only)

Creating a Generic Stub Header

cat > /usr/include/tiffconf.h << "EOF"
/* tiffconf.h - Stub Header  */
#ifndef __STUB__TIFFCONF_H__
#define __STUB__TIFFCONF_H__

#if defined(__x86_64__) || \
    defined(__sparc64__) || \
    defined(__arch64__) || \
    defined(__powerpc64__) || \
    defined (__s390x__)
# include "tiffconf-64.h"
#else
# include "tiffconf-32.h"
#endif

#endif /* __STUB__TIFFCONF_H__ */
EOF

Creating a Stub Header For Mips

cat > /usr/include/tiffconf.h << "EOF"
/* tiffconf.h - Stub Header  */
#ifndef __STUB__TIFFCONF_H__
#define __STUB__TIFFCONF_H__

#include <sgidefs.h>

#if (_MIPS_SIM == _ABIO32)
# include "tiffconf-32.h"
#elif (_MIPS_SIM == _ABIN32)
# include "tiffconf-n32.h"
#elif (_MIPS_SIM == _ABI64)
# include "tiffconf-64.h"
#endif

#endif /* __STUB__TIFFCONF_H__ */
EOF
