I'm using a small sample tiff (that is Group 3 compressed) and would like to get it to display out in window as: 00000111000 Which gives me this:

c:\main.cpp(30) : error C2036: 'void *' : unknown size
c:\main.cpp(30) : error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator defined which takes a right-hand operand of type 'void' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

Is it because I'm trying to use std::cout calls, or am I completely not understanding how buf works?

int main(int nArg, char* pszArgs[]){
    TIFF *tif=TIFFOpen("smile.tif", "r");
    if (tif) {
        tdata_t buf;
        tstrip_t strip;
        buf = _TIFFmalloc(TIFFStripSize(tif));
        for (strip = 0; strip < TIFFNumberOfStrips(tif); strip++)
        {
            TIFFReadEncodedStrip(tif, strip, buf, (tsize_t) -1);
        }

// Begin my code that doesn't work.
        unsigned int width;
        TIFFGetField(tif, TIFFTAG_IMAGEWIDTH, &width);
        unsigned int height;
        TIFFGetField(tif, TIFFTAG_IMAGELENGTH, &height);
        for (unsigned int x = 0; x < width; x++){
            for (unsigned int y = 0; y < height; y++){
                std::cout << buf[x + (height * y)];
            }
            std::cout << "\n";
        }
    _TIFFfree(buf);
    TIFFClose(tif);
    }
    return 0;
}
