Probably CRT Hell with lcms

[jgalan]

Hi,

I am using visual studio 2005 on a winxp machine.

Using make files through the visual studio 2005 command prompt. I have compiled libjpeg, zlib and libtiff. Now I am trying to compile little cms, but failing miserably.

I get the following linker errors:

2>Linking...

From what I have googled its likely a crt issue, but I have no idea how to proceed or what to attempt to remedy the issue.

Any guidance or advice will be appreciated!

Hello
With VC6 (it's probable the same with 2005):
Open the project settings, click the 'Link' tab, select 'Input' in the 'Category' combobox and enter LIBCMT in the 'Ignore libraries' field

Thanks jpiquemal. That did it. A million thanks.


Quick question if I may:

The tifficc.exe I compiled seems to have a dependency to libjpeg.dll (jpeg62.dll). Is that a requirement, or have I compiled libtiff incorrectly?

the TIFF fomat can use several compression algorithms, including JPEG.
that's why you need the libjpeg if you keep the JPEG compression in tiff.
you should be able to remove the jpeg compression by commenting
#define COMPRESSION_JPEG 7 in tiff.h

[jgalan]

commenting out #define COMPRESSION_JPEG 7 in tiff.h
results in the following compiler errors:

tif_getimage.c(351) : error C2065: 'COMPRESSION_JPEG' : undeclared identifier
tif_getimage.c(351) : error C2051: case expression not constant

remove JPEG_SUPPORT from the Preprocessor definitions
