Hi,

Caould someone help me how to resolve the libtiff compiling errors on windows. At first I started off using the makefile with nmake utility and it asked me for jpeg.lib, so then I downloaded jpeg library and generated jpeg.lib and copied all the necessary header files into libtiff folder, then again it asked for zlib file, again I went back and downloaded zlib library and generated zlib.lib and copied all the necessary header files into libtiff folder, now it gives me linker errors as follows....

Creating library libtiff_i.lib and object libtiff_i.exp

Stop.

I am not sure whats goin on and its soo frustrating as I was trying to get it working from 2 full days. I have generated all the other libraries with /MTd option and I even changed that option in opt file of libtiff....

Any help??

-thanks...
