Thanks for account access provided by Ben Dubin-Thaler, I was able to fixup quirks in MacOS X support. The source at:

ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/tiff-v3.5.7-alpha3.tar.gz

should configure and build clean on MacOS X.

Great!

At this time there is no support for building libtiff as a shared library on MacOS X. While MacOS X appears to have support for shared library (with the extension .dylib instead of .so), I was unable to deduce how to build them.

If anyone can suggest how this should be done, or better yet provide patches, I would be glad to have it working.

I 've forwarded your message to darwin-development@lists.apple.com maybe somebody from there can help.

Greetings, Lars
