27This chapter contains step-by-step instructions on how to configure
28and build the TIFF software distribution.
29The software is most easily built on a UNIX system, but with a little
30bit of work it can easily be built and used on other non-UNIX platforms.
31
32<A NAME=UNIX><HR><H2>Building on a UNIX System</H2></A>
33
34To build the software on a UNIX system you need to first run the configure
35shell script that is located in the top level of the source directory. This
36script probes the target system for necessary tools and functions and
37constructs a build environment in which the software may be compiled.
38
39Once configuration is done, you simply run <TT>make</TT> (or <TT>gmake</TT>)
40to build the software and then <TT>make install</TT> to do the installation;
41for example:
42
43<UL><PRE>
44hyla% <B>cd tiff-v3.4beta099</B>
45hyla% <B>./configure</B>
46    <I>...lots of messages...</I>
47hyla% <B>make</B>
48    <I>...lots of messages...</I>
49hyla# <B>make install</B>
50</PRE></UL>
51
52Supplied makefiles are depend on GNU <TT>make</TT> utility, so you will need
53the one. Depending on your installation <B>make</B> command may invoke
54standard system <TT>make</TT> and <B>gmake</B> invoke GNU make. In this case
55you should use former. If you don't have <TT>make</TT> at all, but only
56<TT>gmake</TT>, you should export environment variable <TT>MAKE=gmake</TT>
57before <B>./configure</B>.
58
59<P>
60
61In general, the software is designed such that the following should be
62``<I>make-able</I>'' in each directory:
63
64<UL><PRE>
65make [all]	build stuff
66make install	build&install stuff
67make clean	remove .o files, executables and cruft
68make distclean	remove everything, that can be recreated
69</PRE></UL>
70
71Note that after running "<TT>make distclean</TT>" the <TT>configure</TT>
72script must be run again to create the Makefiles and other make-related files.
73
74<A NAME="BuildTrees"><P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=right><H3>Build Trees</H3></A>
75
76There are two schemes for configuring and building the software. If you intend
77to build the software for only one target system, you can configure the
78software so that it is built in the same directories as the source code.
79
80<UL><PRE>
81hyla% <B>cd tiff-v3.4beta099</B>
82hyla% <B>ls</B>
83COPYRIGHT       VERSION         config.sub      dist            man
84Makefile.in     config.guess    configure       html            port
85README          config.site     contrib         libtiff         tools
86hyla% <B>./configure</B>
87</PRE></UL>
88
89<P>
90Otherwise, you can configure a build tree that is parallel to the source tree
91hierarchy but which contains only configured files and files created during
92the build procedure.
93
94<UL><PRE>
95hyla% <B>cd tiff-v3.4beta099</B>
96hyla% <B>mkdir obj obj/mycpu</B>
97hyla% <B>cd obj/mycpu</B>
98hyla% <B>../../configure</B>
99</PRE></UL>
100
101This second scheme is useful for:
102
103<UL>
104<LI>building multiple targets from a single source tree
105<LI>building from a read-only source tree (e.g. if you receive
106  the distribution on CD-ROM)
107</UL>
108
109<A NAME="ConfigOptions"><P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=right>
110	<H3>Configuration Options</H3></A>
111
112The configuration process is critical to the proper compilation, installation,
113and operation of the software. The configure script runs a series of tests to
114decide whether or not the target system supports required functionality and,
115if it does not, whether it can emulate or workaround the missing functions.
116This procedure is fairly complicated and, due to the nonstandard nature of
117most UNIX systems, prone to error. The first time that you configure the
118software for use you should check the output from the configure script and
119look for anything that does not make sense for your system.
120
121<P>
122A second function of the configure script is to set the default configuration
123parameters for the software. Of particular note are the directories where the
124software is to be installed. By default the software is installed in the
125<B>/usr/local</B> hierarchy. To change this behaviour the appropriate
126parameters can be specified on the command line to configure. Run
127<B>./configure --help</B> to get a list of possible options. Installation
128related options are shown below.
129
130<PRE><TT>
131Installation directories:
132  --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
133                          [/usr/local]
134  --exec-prefix=EPREFIX   install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
135                          [PREFIX]
136
137By default, `make install' will install all the files in
138`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc.  You can specify
139an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
140for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.
141
142For better control, use the options below.
143
144Fine tuning of the installation directories:
145  --bindir=DIR           user executables [EPREFIX/bin]
146  --sbindir=DIR          system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]
147  --libexecdir=DIR       program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]

164<A NAME="Packages"><P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=right>
165	<H3>Configuring Optional Packages/Support</H3></A>
166
167The TIFF software comes with several packages that are installed only as
168needed, or only if specifically configured at the time the configure script is
169run.  Packages can be configured via the <B>configure</B> script commandline
170parameters.
171
172<DL>
173	<DT><I>Static/Shared Objects Support</I>
174

177		--enable-static[=PKGS]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;build static libraries [default=yes]
178	</TT>
179
180	<P>These options control whether or not to configure the software to
181	build a shared and static binaries for the TIFF library. Use of shared
182	libraries can significantly reduce the disk space needed for users of
183	the TIFF software. If shared libarries are not used then the code is
184	statically linked into each application that uses it. By default both
185	types of binaries is configured.
186
187	<P><TT>
188		--enable-rpath&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Enable runtime linker paths (-R libtool option)
189	</TT>
190
191	<P> Add library directories (see other options below) to the TIFF
192	library	run-time linker path.
193
194<P>
195<DT><I>JPEG Support</I>
196<DD>The <TT>JPEG</TT> package enables support for the handling
197of TIFF images with JPEG-encoded data.
198Support for JPEG-encoded data requires the Independent JPEG Group (IJG)
199<TT>libjpeg</TT> distribution; this software is available at
200<A HREF=ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/>ftp.uu.net:/graphics/jpeg/</A>.
201If JPEG support is enabled the <TT>DIRS_LIBINC</TT> and <TT>DIR_JPEGLIB</TT>
202parameters should also be set (see below).
203By default JPEG support is not configured.
204
205<P>
206<DT><I>ZIP Support</I>
207<DD>The <TT>ZIP</TT> support enables support for the handling
208of TIFF images with deflate-encoded data.
209Support for deflate-encoded data requires the freely available
210<TT>zlib</TT> distribution written by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler;
211this software is available at
212<A HREF=ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip/zlib/>ftp.uu.net:/pub/archiving/zip/zlib/</A>
213(or try <A HREF=ftp://quest.jpl.nasa.gov/beta/zlib/>quest.jpl.nasa.gov:/beta/zlib/</A>).
214If ZIP support is enabled the <TT>DIRS_LIBINC</TT> and <TT>DIR_GZLIB</TT>
215parameters should also be set (see below).
216By default this package is not configured.

256configure checked the normal shell search path for potential

259by setting the <TT>CC</TT> environment variable to the appropriate
260pathname, by supplying the parameter on the command line, e.g.
261<TT>-with-CC=gcc</TT>, or by setting <TT>CC</TT> in a configuration

304
305This file can take a long time to create so configure
306generates the file only when it is needed, either because the
307file does not exist or because a different target or compiler
308is to be used.
309Note that running "<TT>make distclean</TT>" in the top-level directory
310of the build tree will remove the <B>port.h</B> file (along
311with all the other files generated by configure).
312
313<P><I>Selecting emulated library functions.</I>
314Certain library functions used by the tools are not present on all systems
315and can be emulated using other system functionality.
316configure checks for the presence of such functions and if they are
317missing, will configure emulation code from the <B>port</B> directory
318to use instead.  Building the TIFF
319software on unsupported systems may require
320adding to the code to the <B>port</B> directory.

326
327If a routine must be emulated and configure does not automatically
328check for it, the routine name can be specified using the <TT>PORTFUNCS</TT>
329parameter.  To add emulation support for a new function <TT>foo</TT>,
330create a file <B>port/foo.c</B> that contains the emulation code
331and then set <TT>PORTFUNCS=foo</TT> in a configuration file or modify
332the configure script to automatically check for the missing function.

338
339If the <TT>DSO</TT> package is enabled (<TT>DSO=auto</TT> or
340<TT>DSO=yes</TT>), then
341configure will verify the system and compiler are capable of
342constructing SVR4-style DSO's in the expected way.  Note that
343while a system may support DSO's the compiler may not be
344capable of generating the required position-independent
345code and/or the compiler may not pass the needed options
346through to the loader.
347

357</TT></PRE></UL>
358
359<P><I>Selecting default configuration parameters.</I>
360The remainder of the work done by configure involves setting up
361configuration parameters that control the placement and

380
381
382
383At this point you can interactively modify any of the
384displayed parameters.  Hitting a carriage return or typing
385<TT>yes</TT> will accept the current parameters.  Typing one
386of the number displayed along the left hand side causes
387configure to prompt for a new value of the specified parameter.
388Typing anything else causes configure to prompt for a new
389value <EM>for each parameter</EM>.
390In general hitting carriage return will accept the current
391value and typing anything that is unacceptable will cause a
392help message to be displayed.
393A description of each of the configuration parameters is given below.
394
395<P>
396Once acceptable parameters are setup configure will generate
397all the files that depend on these parameters.  Note that certain

410<A NAME=DSOSupport><P><HR><H3>Shared Library Support</H3></A>
411
412It is desirable to make the TIFF library be a shared object
413on systems that have support for shared libraries.
414Unfortunately the rules to use to build a shared library
415vary between operating systems and even compilers.
416The distributed software includes support for building a shared
417version of the library on a number of different systems.
418This support is split between rules in the file
419<B>libtiff/Makefile.in</B> that construct the shared library
420and checks done by the <TT>configure</TT> script to verify that
421the expected rules are supported by compilation tools for
422the target system.
423
424<P>
425To add new support for building a shared library both these files
426must be updated.
427In the configure script search for the section where the autoconfiguration
428setting of the <TT>DSO</TT> parameter is handled and
429add a new case for the target system that sets the
430<TT>DSOSUF</TT>,
431<TT>DSOLD</TT>,
432<TT>DSOOPTS</TT>,
433and
434<TT>LIBCOPTS</TT>
435options as appropriate for the system.
436<TT>DSOSUF</TT> specifies the filename suffix used for the shared
437library (e.g. ``.so'' for Dynamic Shared Objects on most SVR4-based
438systems).
439<TT>DSOLD</TT> specifies the program to use to build the shared library
440from a compiled object file; typically ``${LD}'' though on some systems
441it is better to use the C compiler directly so system-dependent options and
442libraries are automatically supplied.
443<TT>DSOOPTS</TT> are options that must be specified to <TT>DSOLD</TT>
444when building the shared library.
445<TT>LIBCOPTS</TT> are options to pass to the C compiler when constructing
446a relocatable object file to include in a shared library; e.g. ``-K PIC''
447on a Sun system.
448The <TT>DSO</TT> parameter must also be set to a unique label that identifies
449the target system and compilation tools.
450This label is used to select
451a target in <B>libtiff/Makefile.in</B> to do the actual work in building
452the shared library.
453Finally, to complete support for the shared library added the appropriate
454rules to <B>libtiff/Makefile.in</B> under the target specified in the
455<TT>configure</TT> script.

645
646With Microsoft Visual C++ installed, and properly configured for commandline
647use (you will likely need to source VCVARS32.BAT in AUTOEXEC.bAT or somewhere
648similar) you should be able to use the provided <tt>makefile.vc</tt>.<p>
649
650<pre>
651C:\LIBTIFF\LIBTIFF> nmake /f makefile.vc
652C:\LIBTIFF\LIBTIFF> cd ..\tools
653C:\LIBTIFF\TOOLS> nmake /f makefile.vc
654</pre>
655
656This will build the library file <tt>LIBTIFF\LIBTIFF\LIBTIFF.LIB</tt>.  This
657can be used in Win32 programs.  If used in a project using the /MD compiler
658switch (using the runtime C library), it may be necessary to modify the
659CFLAGS macro in makefile.vc to correspond.<p>
660
661The makefile also builds a DLL (libtiff.dll) with an associated import
662library (libtiff_i.lib).  Any builds using libtiff will need to include
663the LIBTIFF\LIBTIFF directory in the include path.<p>
664
665The <tt>libtiff\tools\makefile.vc</tt> should build .exe's for all the
666standard TIFF tool programs.<p>
667
668NOTE: The contents of the contrib/win32 directory should no longer be
669needed, and are kept in the distribution temporarily.<p>

673[<I>From the file <B>contrib/dosdjgpp/README</B>.</I>]
674
675<P>
676The directory <B>contrib/dosdjgpp</B>
677contains the files necessary to build the library and tools
678with the DJGPP v2 compiler under MSDOS.
679
680<P>
681All you have to do is copy the files in the directory
682into the respective directories and run
683make. If you want, you can use the <B>conf.bat</B> script
684to do that for you, make sure that
685the file is stored with MSDOS text EOL-convention (CR/LF), otherwise the
686<B>command.com</B> will not do anything.
687
688<P>
689Note that you probably will not be able to build the library with the v1.x
690versions of djgpp, due to two problems. First, the top makefile calls a
691sub-make for each directory and you are likely to run out of memory, since
692each recursive invocation of a djgpp v1.x program requires about 130k, to
693avoid that, you can enter the directories manually and call make (well, there
694are only two dirs). The 2nd problem is that djgpp 1.x doesn't call the
695coff2exe (stubify) program when creating an executable. This means that all
696programs compiled are not converted to exe and consequently are not available
697for calling directly. For the tools directory, you can just call coff2exe for
698each program after make finishes, but in the libtiff directory, a few programs
699are created during the make process that have to be called for make to
700continue (e.g. mkg3states). Make will probably report an error at each
701such stage. To fix that, either add a coff2exe call before each program is
702called or call coff2exe manually and rerun make (there 2-3 such programs).

716<P>
717This directory contains all of the utilities and makefile source
718to build the LIBTIFF library and tools from the MPW Shell. The
719file BUILD.mpw in this directory is an executable script
720which uses all of these files to create the MPW makefiles and
721run them.
722
723<P>
724The <file>.make files are not MPW makefiles as such,
725but are when run through the "mactrans" program, which turns
726the ascii "%nn" metacharacters into the standard weird MPW
727make characters.
728
729<P>
730This translation trick is necessary to protect the files when
731they are put into unix tarfiles, which tend to mangle the

823The command procedures (<TT>MAKEVMS.COM</TT>) for building the

829On the AXP, IEEE floating point is used by default. If you want VAX
830floating point, remove the <TT>/FLOAT=IEEE_FLOAT</TT> qualifier, and change

881Method 1 uses the shortest link time and smallest <TT>.EXE</TT>
882files, but it
883requires that <TT>TIFFSHR</TT> is defined as above at link time and
884<STRONG>at run time</STRONG>.
885Using the compilation procedure above, the tools are linked in this way.
886
887<P>
888Method 2 gives somewhat longer link time and larger <TT>.EXE</TT>
889files, but does
890not require <TT>TIFFSHR</TT> to be defined. This method is recommended if you
891want to run your program on another machine, and for some reason don't
892want to have the library on that machine. If you plan to have more than
893one program (including the tools) on the machine, it is recommended that
894you copy the library to the other machine and use method 1.

900The directory <B>contrib/acorn</B> contains support for compiling the library
901under Acorn C/C++ under Acorn's RISC OS 3.10 or above. Subsequent pathnames
902will use the Acorn format: The full-stop or period character is a pathname
903delimeter, and the slash character is not interpreted; the reverse position
904from Unix. Thus "libtiff/tif_acorn.c" becomes "libtiff.tif_acorn/c".
905
906<P>
907This support was contributed by Peter Greenham. (<A HREF=mailto:[email protected]>[email protected]</A>).
908
909<P>
910<H3>Installing LibTIFF:</H3>
911
912<P>
913LIBTIFF uses several files which have names longer than the normal RISC OS
914maximum of ten characters. This complicates matters. Maybe one day Acorn will
915address the problem and implement long filenames properly. Until then this
916gets messy, especially as I'm trying to do this with obeyfiles and not have
917to include binaries in this distribution.
918
919<P>
920First of all, ensure you have Truncate configured on (type <TT>*Configure
921Truncate On</TT>)
922
923<P>
924Although it is, of course, preferable to have long filenames, LIBTIFF can be
925installed with short filenames, and it will compile and link without
926problems. However, <I>getting</I> it there is more problematic.
927<B>contrib.acorn.install</B> is an installation obeyfile which will create a normal
928Acorn-style library from the source (ie: with c, h and o folders etc.), but
929needs the distribution library to have been unpacked into a location which is
930capable of supporting long filenames, even if only temporarily.
931
932<P>
933My recommendation, until Acorn address this problem properly, is to use Jason
934Tribbeck's <A
935HREF=ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/hensa/micros/arch/riscos/c/c020/longfiles.arc>LongFilenames</A>, or any other
936working system that gives you long filenames, like a nearby NFS server for
937instance.
938
939<P>
940If you are using Longfilenames, even if only temporarily to install LIBTIFF,
941unpack the TAR into a RAMDisc which has been longfilenamed (ie: <TT>*addlongfs
942ram</TT>) and then install from there to the hard disk. Unfortunately
943Longfilenames seems a bit unhappy about copying a bunch of long-named files
944across the same filing system, but is happy going between systems. You'll
945need to create a ramdisk of about 2Mb.
946
947<P>
948Now you can run the installation script I've supplied (in contrib.acorn),
949which will automate the process of installing LIBTIFF as an Acorn-style
950library. The syntax is as follows:
951
952<P><TT>
953install &lt;source_dir&gt; &lt;dest_dir&gt;
954
955</TT><P>
956Install will then create &lt;dest_dir&gt; and put the library in there. For
957example, having used LongFilenames on the RAMDisk and unpacked the library
958into there, you can then type:
959
960<P><TT>
961Obey RAM::RamDisc0.$.contrib.acorn.install RAM::RamDisc0.$ ADFS::4.$.LIBTIFF
962</TT><P>
963
964It doesn't matter if the destination location can cope with long filenames or
965not. The filenames will be truncated if necessary (*Configure Truncate On if
966you get errors) and all will be well.
967
968<P>
969<H3>Compiling LibTIFF:</H3>
970
971<P>
972Once the LibTIFF folder has been created and the files put inside, making the
973library should be just a matter of running '<B>SetVars</B>' to set the
974appropriate system variables, then running '<B>Makefile</B>'.

977<B>OSLib</B>

980<A HREF=ftp://ftp.acorn.co.uk/pub/riscos/releases/oslib/oslib.arc>OSLib</A>
981is a comprehensive API for RISC OS machines, written by Jonathan Coxhead of
982Acorn Computers (although OSLib is not an official Acorn product). Using the
983OSLib SWI veneers produces code which is more compact and more efficient than
984code written using _kernel_swi or _swi. The Acorn port of LibTIFF can take
985advantage of this if present. Edit the Makefile and go to the Static

1005
1006This section contains information that might be useful
1007if you are working on a non-UNIX system that is not directly supported.
1008All library-related files described below are located in the <B>libtiff</B>
1009directory.
1010
1011<P>
1012The library requires two files that are generated <I>on-the-fly</I>.
1013The file <B>tif_fax3sm.c</B> has the state tables for the
1014Group 3 and Group 4 decoders.
1015This file is generated by the <TT>mkg3states</TT> program
1016on a UNIX system; for example,
1017
1018<UL><PRE><TT>
1019cd libtiff
1020cc -o mkg3states mkg3states.c
1021rm -f tif_fax3sm.c
1022./mkg3states -c const tif_fax3sm.c
1023</TT></PRE></UL>
1024
1025The <TT>-c</TT> option can be used to control whether or not the
1026resutling tables are generated with a <TT>const</TT> declaration.
1027The <TT>-s</TT> option can be used to specify a C storage class
1028for the table declarations.
1029The <TT>-b</TT> option can be used to force data values to be
1030explicitly bracketed with ``{}'' (apparently needed for some
1031MS-Windows compilers); otherwise the structures are emitted in
1032as compact a format as possible.
1033Consult the source code for this program if you have questions.
1034
1035<P>
1036The second file required to build the library, <B>version.h</B>,
1037contains the version
1038information returned by the <TT>TIFFGetVersion</TT> routine.
1039This file is built on most systems using the
1040<TT>mkversion</TT> program and the contents of the
1041<TT>VERSION</TT> and <TT>tiff.alpha</TT> files; for example,
1042
1043<UL><PRE>
1044cd libtiff
1045cc -o mkversion mkversion.c
1046rm -f version.h
1047./mkversion -v ../VERSION -a ../dist/tiff.alpha version.h
1048</PRE></UL>
1049
1050<P>
1051Otherwise, when building the library on a non-UNIX system be sure to
1052consult the files <B>tiffcomp.h</B> and <B>tiffconf.h</B>.
1053The former contains system compatibility definitions while the latter
1054is provided so that the software configuration can be controlled
1055on systems that do not support the make facility for building
1056the software.
1057
1058<P>
1059Systems without a 32-bit compiler may not be able to handle some
1060of the codecs in the library; especially the Group 3 and 4 decoder.
1061If you encounter problems try disabling support for a particular
1062codec; consult the <A HREF=internals.html#Config>documentation</A>.
1063
1064<P>
1065Programs in the tools directory are written to assume an ANSI C
1066compilation environment.
1067There may be a few POSIX'isms as well.
1068The code in the <B>port</B> directory is provided to emulate routines
1069that may be missing on some systems.
1070On UNIX systems the <TT>configure</TT> script automatically figures
1071out which routines are not present on a system and enables the use
1072of the equivalent emulation routines from the <B>port</B> directory.
1073It may be necessary to manually do this work on a non-UNIX system.
1074
1075
1076<A NAME=Testing><P><HR><H2>Checking out the Software</H2></A>
1077
1078<P>
1079Assuming you have working versions of <TT>tiffgt</TT> and <TT>tiffsv</TT>,
1080you can just
1081use them to view any of the sample images available for testing
1082(see the <A HREF=images.html>section on obtaining the test images</A>).
1083Otherwise, you can do a cursory check of the library with
1084the <TT>tiffcp</TT> and <TT>tiffcmp</TT> programs. For example,
1085
1086<UL><PRE>
1087tiffcp -lzw cramps.tif x.tif
1088tiffcmp cramps.tif x.tif
1089</PRE></UL>
1090
1091<P>
1092(<TT>tiffcmp</TT> should be silent if the files compare correctly).
