Here is how to build the TIFF library for MPE/iX
------------------------------------------------

Create the IX account, if it does not exist yet...

 :hello manager.sys

 :newacct ix,mgr ;pass=dontknow

 :altacct ix ;cap=+ph
 :altuser mgr.ix ;cap=+ph

 :altgroup pub.ix ;access=(r,x:any;w,a,l,s:AL)


Create symbolic link for HFS name to the "home" of libtiff/iX...

 :hello lars,manager.sys

 :newlink /usr/local/libtiff , /IX/LIBTIFF


Create user and MPE group to provide libtiff/iX "home" setup...

 :hello lars,mgr.ix

 :newgroup libtiff.ix ;access=(r,w,a,l,x,s:GL)

 :newuser libtiff.ix ;pass=dontknow

 :altuser libtiff.ix ;home=libtiff ;cap=+ph,gl


Logon as LibTiff.iX user to unpack files and perform build...

 :hello lars,libtiff.ix

 (optionally copy some helpful .exrc and .profile files here)

 :/bin/sh -L


First unpack the original GNU autocinf 2.12 distribution...

 shell/iX> gunzip -c /tmp/tiff-v3.4-tar.gz | tar xvof -


And then add the MPE specific files (into separate mpe subdir)...

 shell/iX> tar xvzopf /tmp/lt-mpe.tar.Z

 shell/iX> cat ReadMe


Now have the setup script replace/adjust the MPE specific files...

 shell/iX> sh mpe/setup


Finally perform the configure, make and make install steps...

 shell/iX> cd tiff-v3.4

 shell/iX> ./configure

 shell/iX> make

 shell/iX> make install

 shell/iX> make distclean

 shell/iX> cd ..


That's all (you'd also have this state by unpacking lt-all.tar.Z)

 shell/iX> exit
