      • Packit Service 2594b8
           library; configure reconizes this is the intent when the
        Packit Service 2594b8
           VERSION, tiff.alpha, and tif_version.c
        Packit Service 2594b8
           files are in the local directory (i.e. ``.'')

      • configure no longer checks for alternate compilers if <TT>CC</TT>
      • Packit Service 2594b8
           is set; if the specified compiler is not found or is not appropriate
        Packit Service 2594b8
           the configuration procedure aborts
        Packit Service 2594b8
      • the port.h file generated by configure is now used only by
      • Packit Service 2594b8
           the library and as such as have been moved to the libtiff
        Packit Service 2594b8
           directory

      • there is beginning support for building DSO's on systems other than IRIX
      • Packit Service 2594b8
      • configure now verifies the JPEG and zlib directory pathnames by
      • Packit Service 2594b8
           checking for well-known include files in these directories
        Packit Service 2594b8
      • configure no longer creates the dist directory needed only
      • Packit Service 2594b8
           on SGI machines (for building SGI binary distributions)
        Packit Service 2594b8
      • a bug was fixed whereby configure would incorrectly set

          Packit Service 2594b8

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