Subject:	ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of library TIFF 3.9.5 uploaded.
Date:	Sun, 29 May 2011 14:39:00 +0200

This is a port of library TIFF 3.9.5 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

  DJGPP specific changes.
  =======================

  This port requires the use of the CVS version of snprintf.  Other minor djgpp
  specific changes are documented in the diffs file.  Apart from these changes
  only the usual configuration files have been added, especialy sed scripts to
  fix the libtool files (ltmain and ltconfig).  They are located in the /djgpp
  directory.  As for all binaries and libraries that handle images of any kind,
  it should be noted that files (streams) are *always* openend in binary mode
  with all the well known implications on a DOS/WINDOWS OS if the stream is
  connected to STDIN and/or STDOUT when these are still connected to the console.
  For ppm2tiff.exe, tiff2pdf.exe and iptcutil.exe both SIGINT and SIGQUIT are
  reenabled if stdin and/or stdout is connected to console.


  To configure and compile the package and later to use it, you will have to
  install the zlib, ljpeg8b and the png port available at ftp.delorie.com and
  mirrors as:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/zlib125b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/png152b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/jpeg8cb.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/jbig20b.zip
  or:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/zlib125b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/png152b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/jpeg8cb.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/jbig20b.zip
  Of course, you can download a newer version of zlib, png and jpeg if
  available.  The zlib, png and jpeg stored in /current have been compiled
  with djdev203 and those ones from /beta are compiled with djgpp204 beta.

  Please note that due to DOS/DJGPP specific issues that I was not able to
  solve, you will have to use /djgpp/makeTIFF.sh to compile the sources.  This
  shell script simple changes into the different directories and compile the
  libraries and binaries one by one starting the Makefile in that particular
  directory.  Compiling the whole sources from the top src directory starting
  the top level Makefile will not result in the complite compilation of the
  sources.  I do not know if the file descriptors become exhausted or if
  something is wrong with bash, make or binutils but even with FILES=250
  set in config.nt it was not possible to me to compile the whole package
  starting with the top src directory Makefile.
  If you decide to compile with DJGPP 2.03, you must replace sort.exe with
  sort.exe from DJGPP 2.04 because sort.exe from  DJGPP 2.03 crashes for
  reasons I still have not investigated making libtool fail and stoping the
  build.
  Also something seems to be wrong with the shell scripts coded by
  autoconf 2.68 into the Makefile to run the testsuite.  I was not
  able to solve this issue.  To run the different test programs start
  the /djgpp/chkTIFF.sh script from the top src directory.  It will cd
  into /test and start the Makefile with the appropriate options to run
  all test programs.  The test results will be stored in different .log
  files.  All tests pass.

  
  Please read the docs.  There are no info formated docs.  All the extensive
  documentation is html formated and placed in /share/doc/libtiff3.9-5/html


  The port has been compiled using stock djdev203 (patchlevel 2) and consists
  of the two packages that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors
  as (timestamp 2011-05-29):

    library TIFF 3.9.5 source:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/tiff395s.zip


  The binaries have been produced a second time using the stock version of
  djdev204 beta library.  This package is available at ftp.delorie.com and
  mirrors as (timestamp 2011-05-29):
