      Packit 7838c8
        Packit 7838c8
      • It is now possible to setup the software to build only the
      • Packit 7838c8
           library; configure reconizes this is the intent when the
        Packit 7838c8
           VERSION, tiff.alpha, and tif_version.c
        Packit 7838c8
           files are in the local directory (i.e. ``.'')
        Packit 7838c8
      • configure no longer tries to setup HTML materials
      • Packit 7838c8
      • include file directories needed in building the library are now

           specified with a <TT>DIRS_LIBINC</TT> config parameter
        Packit 7838c8
      • configure no longer checks for alternate compilers if <TT>CC</TT>
      • Packit 7838c8
           is set; if the specified compiler is not found or is not appropriate
        Packit 7838c8
           the configuration procedure aborts
        Packit 7838c8
      • the port.h file generated by configure is now used only by
      • Packit 7838c8
           the library and as such as have been moved to the libtiff
        Packit 7838c8
           directory
        Packit 7838c8
      • there is beginning support for building DSO's on systems other than IRIX
      • Packit 7838c8
      • configure now verifies the JPEG and zlib directory pathnames by
      • Packit 7838c8
           checking for well-known include files in these directories
        Packit 7838c8
      • configure no longer creates the dist directory needed only
      • Packit 7838c8
           on SGI machines (for building SGI binary distributions)
        Packit 7838c8
      • a bug was fixed whereby configure would incorrectly set
      • Packit 7838c8
            <TT>ENVOPTS</TT> when building the software with gcc under AIX

          Packit 7838c8
              respectively; these are currently used only by

          Packit 7838c8

          Packit 7838c8

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