      Packit 85355f
        Packit 85355f
      • It is now possible to setup the software to build only the
      • Packit 85355f
           library; configure reconizes this is the intent when the
        Packit 85355f
           VERSION, tiff.alpha, and tif_version.c
        Packit 85355f
           files are in the local directory (i.e. ``.'')
        Packit 85355f
      • configure no longer tries to setup HTML materials
      • Packit 85355f
      • include file directories needed in building the library are now
      • Packit 85355f
           specified with a <TT>DIRS_LIBINC</TT> config parameter
        Packit 85355f
      • configure no longer checks for alternate compilers if <TT>CC</TT>
      • Packit 85355f
           is set; if the specified compiler is not found or is not appropriate
        Packit 85355f
           the configuration procedure aborts
        Packit 85355f
      • the port.h file generated by configure is now used only by
      • Packit 85355f
           the library and as such as have been moved to the libtiff
        Packit 85355f
           directory
        Packit 85355f
      • there is beginning support for building DSO's on systems other than IRIX
      • Packit 85355f
      • configure now verifies the JPEG and zlib directory pathnames by
      • Packit 85355f
           checking for well-known include files in these directories
        Packit 85355f
      • configure no longer creates the dist directory needed only
      • Packit 85355f
           on SGI machines (for building SGI binary distributions)
        Packit 85355f
      • a bug was fixed whereby configure would incorrectly set
      • Packit 85355f
            <TT>ENVOPTS</TT> when building the software with gcc under AIX

        • Packit 85355f

          Packit 85355f
              respectively; these are currently used only by
          Packit 85355f
              programs in the tools directory
          Packit 85355f
        • the <TT>BadFaxLines</TT>, <TT>CleanFaxData</TT>, and

          Packit 85355f
              Group 4 compression
          Packit 85355f
        • byte order is now correctly identified on 64-bit machines
        • Packit 85355f

          Packit 85355f
              strips in an image (must set <TT>ImageLength</TT> prior to
          Packit 85355f
              making calls though)
          Packit 85355f

        • the file version.h is now built by a new mkversion
        • Packit 85355f

        • Packit 85355f
        • the builtin codec table is now made <TT>const</TT> when compiling
