---------------------------------------------------- Build instructions for LIBTIFF - CodeWarrior (6.1): ---------------------------------------------------- Note: there is a bug in CW earlier than 6.1 which will generate 16-bit offset link errors for any projects using libtiff; you must download the CodeWarrior 6.1 patch located at: ftp://ftp.metrowerks.com/pub/updates/metro-patches-61.hqx unpack the archive, insert the files and recompile the libraries using the AppleScript provided. 1. Make sure that the directory containing these files is under the "contrib" directory of the tiff folder; otherwise, some access path preferences will need to be updated. 2. The instructions below are for the 68k platform build. A similar script can be put together for the PPC version, or you can just directly convert the projects. Be sure to use the native libraries as well. NOTE: if anyone cooks up an equivalent script for PPC, send it to me and I'll include it with the rest of the package. 3. Open the file Makefile.script with an AppleScript Editor and change the PATHNAME variable to point to your top-level TIFF directory 4. Run the Script. It will do the following things: 4a. Prompt you for the current location of the CodeWarrior 68K program. 4b. Create the source file "tif_fax3sm.c": i) Build the project CW project mkg3states.cw. It will produce a small program called mkg3states. Only a 68k version is provided, since you only have to run this code once, and it only takes a few seconds. ii) Run the built mkg3states program: The program will temporarily take over ALL of the CPU, so don't panic. After a few seconds it will produce a file called "tif_fax3sm.c". 4c. Build the library project libtiff-68K.mw, producing library called libtiff-68K. 4d. Build program project tiffinfo.mw; it will produce a program called tiffinfo, which can dump the tiff tags of a named file. Passing in no arguments will dump a help file for the program. It is unix-flavored, but hey, it works. 5 When the script finishes, you will have a usable libtiff-68K library, a passable "tiffinfo" program, and the projects used to build them. Note that to get tiffinfo to work I have put an include file in the project that redefines main(), and then have a mac_main.c program that calls ccommand() first and passes that to the actual main code. A real mac app, of course, would never use this stuff at all... . The tiffinfo.mw project may be used as a template to build most of the other libtiff tools, or your own code. When modifying a copy of the project, you will most likely need to update the "Access Paths" directory if it is moved out of the contrib folder. 6. If you are going to create a project from scratch, be sure to set up the preferences with 4-byte ints 8-byte doubles Far Code/Far Data Large Linking model and everything should work fine. If the console-style error reports bother you, you can always override the error and warning mechanism with TIFFSetErrorHandler to do something more Mac-like.
