Hi, first I haven't done C programming in years and am a bit rusty with gcc and ld. I am having problems with ld reporting "undefined reference to _TIFFOpen" etc, which should be in libtiff. However, I am not even sure if the problem is about libtiff or if miss something else.
Here is my minimize code I am trying to compile and link (write.c): #include <stdio.h> #include "tiff.h" #include "tiffio.h" int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { TIFF *image; if((image = TIFFOpen("output.tif", "w")) == NULL){ printf("Could not open output.tif for writing\n"); exit(42); } TIFFClose(image); } I get the following error: % gcc -static -lm -ltiff -o write.o -ltiff write.c /tmp/ccfugoHj.o(.text+0x76):write.c: undefined reference to `_TIFFOpen' /tmp/ccfugoHj.o(.text+0xa2):write.c: undefined reference to `_TIFFClose' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status According to the following troubleshooting it looks like it finds libtiff.a (or something): % gcc -static -lm -ltiffX -o write.o -ltiff write.c /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot fi nd -ltiffX collect2: ld returned 1 exit status According to Cygwin Setup the tiff version is 3.5.7-1. gcc is v3.2 (20020927). % ls -l /usr/lib/libtiff.* -rwx------+ 1 hb None 316100 Feb 10 2002 /usr/lib/libtiff.a -rwx------+ 1 hb None 152620 Feb 10 2002 /usr/lib/libtiff.dll.a % ls -l /usr/include/tiff* -rwx------+ 1 hb None 24302 Feb 10 2002 /usr/include/tiff.h -rwx------+ 1 hb None 5254 Feb 10 2002 /usr/include/tiffconf.h -rwx------+ 1 hb None 14072 Feb 10 2002 /usr/include/tiffio.h -rwx------+ 1 hb None 11554 Feb 10 2002 /usr/include/tiffiop.h -rwx------+ 1 hb None 410 Feb 10 2002 /usr/include/tiffvers.h I appreciate any help.
