I see that it is possible to compile in __stdcall on the cl, so it turns out that things aren't so bad for trying to call from vb6 - or are they:

        cl /nologo /Ox /MD /Gz /W3 -I.   -DCHECK_JPEG_YCBCR_SUBSAMPLING -DDEFAUL
T_EXTRASAMPLE_AS_ALPHA -DSTRIPCHOP_DEFAULT=TIFF_STRIPCHOP -DLOGLUV_SUPPORT -DNEX
T_SUPPORT -DTHUNDER_SUPPORT -DLZW_SUPPORT -DPACKBITS_SUPPORT -DCCITT_SUPPORT -DT
IF_PLATFORM_CONSOLE -DFILLODER_LSB2MSB  /c tif_dirinfo.c
tif_dirinfo.c

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin\N

Stop.

It compiles fine if I leave the parameter in nmake.opt at GX, but fails here if I change to Gz. Is this just going to be an impossible task? Can someone with some winders C knowledge comment on this?

Antoine,

That is known deficiency and we have a corrsponding report in Bugzilla (#727). The functions, passed to sort/search routines, should be declared as __cdecl.

Andrey
