This chapter contains step-by-step instructions on how to configure

and build the TIFF software distribution. The software is most

easily built on a UNIX system, but with a little bit of work it can

easily be built and used on other non-UNIX platforms.

Building on a UNIX System

To build the software on a UNIX system you need to first run the

configure shell script that is located in the top level of the

source directory. This script probes the target system for

necessary tools and functions and constructs a build environment in

which the software may be compiled. Once configuration is done, you

simply run <tt>make</tt> (or <tt>gmake</tt>) to build the software

and then <tt>make install</tt> to do the installation; for example:

hyla% cd ./tiff-4.0.0

hyla% ./configure

    ...lots of messages...

hyla% make

    ...lots of messages...

hyla% make check

    ...lots of messages...

hyla# make install
