The tiff package provides libraries and utilities for manipulating TIFF image files. It is based on the official tiff-v3.6.0-beta2.tar.gz distribution from libtiff.org.
This release is built against the cygwin-1.5.x kernel; it will not work with 1.3.22. Further, it requires libjpeg62-6b-11 or newer. tiff-3.6.0-5 libtiff4-3.6.0-5 (* now package) libtiff-devel-3.6.0-5 CHANGES: * compiled against cygwin-1.5.2 kernel * version bump and new package for the DLL * updated to the tiff-v3.6.0beta2 release * documentation moved to /usr/share/* * Even though the US patent on LZW compression has expired in the US, this release of tiff does NOT include LZW capability, in deference to users from countries whose patent system is as farked up as the US, and where the LZW patent has not yet expired. -- Charles Wilson tiff volunteer maintainer for cygwin To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.

However, these are library private and should NOT be accessed by external programs. If you find a rogue program out there that messes with these internal data objects, let me know... On the other hand, --enable-pseudo-relocs should take care of the problem, as an interim solution for those rogues. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
