X-Authentication-Warning: delorie.com: mail set sender to djgpp-bounces using -f Message-Id: <201105291327.p4TDRMbP019052@delorie.com> From: Juan Manuel Guerrero To: djgpp-announce AT delorie DOT com Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of library TIFF 3.9.5 uploaded. Date: Sun, 29 May 2011 14:39:00 +0200 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Disposition: inline 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 binaries, headers, libs and man/html format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/tiff395b.zip 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): library TIFF 3.9.5 binaries, headers, libs and man/html format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/tiff395b.zip Send library TIFF specific bug reports to .
