 Dear libtiff users,

 May I solicit some help regarding the linking of libtiff:
 I am trying to link libtiff to a c++ project using Qt and the compiler from Visual Studio 2012, 64bit. Libtiff compiled just fine using the supplied makefile.vc

 The compiler and linker arguments in the makefile (qmake generated) are

    INCPATH       = -I"..\tiff-4.0.3\libtiff" -I"..\tiff-4.0.3\port"
    LINKER        = link
    LFLAGS        = /NOLOGO /DYNAMICBASE /NXCOMPAT /INCREMENTAL:NO /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS "/MANIFESTDEPENDENCY:type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*' processorArchitecture='*'"
    LIBS          = qtmain.lib ..\tiff-4.0.3\port\libport.lib ..\tiff-4.0.3\libtiff\libtiff.lib

 yet, the linker cant resolve "TIFFOpen" "TIFFClose" "TIFFWriteScanline" "TIFFSetField" external symbols.
 I can however, find the symbols in the lib file. dumpbin yields

    010 00000170 SECT5  notype ()    External     | _TIFFClose

     ...

    008 00000000 SECT3  notype       Static       | ?module@?1??TIFFOpen@@9@9 (`TIFFOpen'::`2'::module)
    00D 0000000C SECT3  notype       Static       | ?module@?1??TIFFOpenW@@9@9 (`TIFFOpenW'::`2'::module)

     ...

   034 000000C0 SECT5  notype ()    External     | _TIFFOpen
   035 000001B0 SECT5  notype ()    External     | _TIFFOpenW

 and so on.

 I am including "libtiff.h".

 How does the c++ compiler find the extern "c" symbols? Is the leading underscore the problem?

 thanks!
 Martin
