libtiff mailing list on Mon, 22 Jun 2015 21:21:01 +0100. Several
corrections to ensure that the autotools build still works were
added by me. I have not yet tested the build using 'cmake' or
MSVC with 'nmake'.
definitions that configure produces, including for WIN64. Still
needs to be tested.
'lld' is not assured by the run-time DLLs and so GCC warns.
Add TIFF_SIZE_T and TIFF_SIZE_FORMAT to provide a type definition
and printf format specifier to deal with printing values of
'size_t' type. In particular, this was necessary for WIN64.
Added a configure test for if the system headers provide 'optarg'
(normal case) and block out the many explicit 'extern' statements
in the utilities. This was found to be necessary under Windows
when getopt is in a DLL and the symbols are already imported with
dllimport via standard header files.
An Ubuntu user noticed that tiffgt was not appropriately calling glFlush(),
which was causing tiffgt to open blank windows in some cases. I'm not sure
what the cases are, but my system happened to be one that saw blank windows,
and the one-line fix the user provided was sufficient to solve it in my case.
