OK, so here's my contribution. To build libtiff (v3.4beta035) as a shared library on HP/UX 9.01 with the c89 compiler, add a single line to `configure' as indicated by this patch:

===========================================================================

        ;;
     *-solaris*-yes)
        DSOSUF=so
===========================================================================

Otherwise the tiff tools won't be able to find libtiff.sl when the build directory has been deleted (and libtiff.sl installed in e.g. /usr/local/lib). Note that linking with `-L... -ltiff' instead of `.../libtiff.sl' is needed. The `+s' is optional; it makes the tools search SHLIB_PATH before looking in the `+b' directory.

(The `+b' option in libtiff/Makefile.in doesn't help the tools find libtiff.)
