    This chapter contains step-by-step instructions on how to configure
    Packit 7838c8
    and build the TIFF software distribution. The software is most
    Packit 7838c8
    easily built on a UNIX system, but with a little bit of work it can
    Packit 7838c8
    easily be built and used on other non-UNIX platforms.

    Building on all systems with CMake

    CMake may be used to
    Packit 7838c8
    generate build files for most common build systems and IDEs, and
    Packit 7838c8
    supports all UNIX-like systems as well as Windows. See
    Packit 7838c8
    the CMake website for further
    Packit 7838c8
    details. To build the software on you need to first run
    Packit 7838c8
    <tt>cmake</tt> to configure the build and generate the system-specific
    Packit 7838c8
    build files. This reads the top-level <tt>CMakeLists.txt</tt> file,
    Packit 7838c8
    which probes the target system for necessary tools and functions,
    Packit 7838c8
    checks any options you specified to configure the build, and then
    Packit 7838c8
    outputs build files configured for your system.  If using <tt>Unix
    Packit 7838c8
    Makefiles</tt>, once configuration is done, you simply
    Packit 7838c8
    run <tt>make</tt> (or <tt>gmake</tt>) to build the software and
    Packit 7838c8
    then <tt>make install</tt> to do the installation.  For other build
    Packit 7838c8
    systems, you do the equivalent steps with the tool for that system.
    Packit 7838c8
    For example, on any UNIX system:
    Packit 7838c8
    Packit 7838c8
    Packit 7838c8
    % cd ./tiff-4.0.5
    Packit 7838c8
    % cmake
    Packit 7838c8
        ...lots of messages...
    Packit 7838c8
    % make
    Packit 7838c8
        ...lots of messages...
    Packit 7838c8
    % make test
    Packit 7838c8
        ...lots of messages...
    Packit 7838c8
    # make install
