This directory contains the files necessary  to build the free TIFF library
and tools with the  EMX  0.9c  GNU  compiler  under  OS/2.   Makefiles  are
included for the top level and the libtiff and tools directories.

You  must  unzip the source code onto a HPFS volume with a ZIP program that
is long filename aware (like Infozip  or Pkunzip/2 2.50).  Building this on
FAT will not work (though the resulting tools  will  of  course  work  with
FAT).

In   order   to   compile   the  TILL  library  libtiff,  change  into  the
contrib\os2emx directory, type  "conf"  (in  order  to run conf.cmd), which
will copy the OS/2 makefiles and ports.h into  the  proper  locations,  and
then  simply  type  "make".   You will need GNU make, which is available as
GNUMAKE.ZIP from various locations, including Hobbes and Leo.

The resulting executables in the tools directory are dynamically linked.  I
decided to do it this way because it shrinked each  executables  size  from
about  200K  to  about  20K. In order to run these executables you need the
full EMX runtime (emx.dll,  emxlibcm.dll  and emxlibcs.dll) installed.  You
also must copy the file tiffdll.dll, which can  be  found  in  the  libtiff
directory after a successful  build  process,  into  a  directory  that  is
mentioned in your LIBPATH.

Please  note that as I personally only need tiff2ps, this code has not been
extensively tested on OS/2.  If  you encounter any problems, please contact
me at the address given below.  I do not expect any major problems  to  pop
up, though, as the code already was ported to Windows and DOS.

Special thanks go to Alexander Lehmann <alex@hal.rhein-main.de> for porting
the  TIFF  utilities  to  DOS DJGPP.  Building on his work, porting them to
OS/2 was quite easy.
