2Build instructions for LIBTIFF - CodeWarrior (6.1):
3----------------------------------------------------
4
5Note: there is a bug in CW earlier than 6.1 which will generate
616-bit offset link errors for any projects using libtiff; you must
7download the CodeWarrior 6.1 patch located at:
8
9 ftp://ftp.metrowerks.com/pub/updates/metro-patches-61.hqx
10
11unpack the archive, insert the files and recompile the libraries
12using the AppleScript provided.
13
14
151. Make sure that the directory containing these files is under
16 the "contrib" directory of the tiff folder; otherwise, some
17 access path preferences will need to be updated.
18
192. The instructions below are for the 68k platform build.
20 A similar script can be put together for the PPC version,
21 or you can just directly convert the projects. Be sure to
22 use the native libraries as well. NOTE: if anyone cooks
23 up an equivalent script for PPC, send it to me and I'll include
24 it with the rest of the package.
25
263. Open the file Makefile.script with an AppleScript Editor
27 and change the PATHNAME variable to point to your
28 top-level TIFF directory
29
304. Run the Script. It will do the following things:
31
32 4a. Prompt you for the current location of the CodeWarrior 68K
33 program.
34
35 4b. Create the source file "tif_fax3sm.c":
36
37 i) Build the project CW project mkg3states.cw. It will
38 produce a small program called mkg3states. Only a
39 68k version is provided, since you only have to run
40 this code once, and it only takes a few seconds.
41
42 ii) Run the built mkg3states program:
43
44 The program will temporarily take over ALL of the CPU, so
45 don't panic. After a few seconds it will produce a file called
46 "tif_fax3sm.c".
47
48 4c. Build the library project libtiff-68K.mw, producing library
49 called libtiff-68K.
50
51 4d. Build program project tiffinfo.mw; it will produce a
52 program called tiffinfo, which can dump the tiff tags of
53 a named file. Passing in no arguments will dump a help file
54 for the program. It is unix-flavored, but hey, it works.
55
565 When the script finishes, you will have a usable libtiff-68K
57 library, a passable "tiffinfo" program, and the projects used
58 to build them. Note that to get tiffinfo to work I have put
59 an include file in the project that redefines main(), and
60 then have a mac_main.c program that calls ccommand() first
61 and passes that to the actual main code. A real mac app,
62 of course, would never use this stuff at all...
63
64 . The tiffinfo.mw project may be used as a template to build
65 most of the other libtiff tools, or your own code. When
66 modifying a copy of the project, you will most likely need
67 to update the "Access Paths" directory if it is moved out of
68 the contrib folder.
69
706. If you are going to create a project from scratch, be sure
71 to set up the preferences with
72
73 4-byte ints
74 8-byte doubles
75 Far Code/Far Data
76 Large Linking model
77
78 and everything should work fine. If the console-style error
79 reports bother you, you can always override the error and
80 warning mechanism with TIFFSetErrorHandler to do something
81 more Mac-like.
