Andrey,

I did some footwork before downloading libtiff, since I anticipated that there might be issues with win32 vs. unix versions. If you go to the following page

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/tiff-win32.htm,

that page has a Version section and a Description section which has the following information:

Tiff for Windows

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Tiff: library and tools for TIFF images

Version
3.6.1

Description
:
:

The GnuWin32 distribution comes in two versions. The ordinary version uses the standard Unix equivalents, such as fopen and read, for input and output, the other version (Tiff-win32) uses the Win32 API functions, such as CreateFile and ReadFile, for input and output. The ordinary version (Tiff) is more suitable for porting Unix programs, the Win32-API version is more suitable for writing Win32 programs.

Andrey, may I assume from your question/statements below that I can begin using the 3.7.3 distribution for use with win32 compilers?

Be advised that the distribution available for win32 development at remotesensing.org/libtiff is "tiff-win32-3.6.1-2-src.zip", which is what I downloaded and there are no nmake.opt files - only makefile.vc.

Hmmm... where you found that archive? The official libtiff site is

 ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/libtiff/

and it contains 3.7.3 release, which is the most recent one.
