Write TIFF files with embedded metadata.
LabVIEW VIs to write CamTIFF files and MATLAB scripts to read them can be found in the programs folder.
For Linux, libTIFF must be an installed library that is in the normal
library search path. This is left up to the user to determine how to
install, as it may be done in many different ways (package managers,
source). Once libTIFF is installed in a standard location, run ./compile
to compile tiff_example_include.c and ./compile lib to compile
tiff_example_dyn.c.
For Mac, first make sure MacPorts is installed. Then run ./compile
to compile tiff_example_include.c and ./compile lib to compile
tiff_example_dyn.c. This shell script will automatically install libTIFF
from MacPorts if it is not already installed.
Use the provided Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 project files (camtiff.sln) to open and compile camtiff. Note that warnings about overlapping namespaces occur if camtiff is compiled as the debug target. These warnings do not occur if camtiff is compiled as a release target.
libTIFF 3.9.5, which is a required library, is included in the source, and can
be compiled with the command nmake /f Makefile.vc lib inside the libtiff
directory. It is important to know that the nmake.opt included here has been
modified to use the /MT linker option instead of /MD, which allows libtiff and
camtiff to run without the MSVCR100.dll installed. If you get an error when
using camtiff that complains about msvcr100.dll not being installed or errors
similar to
MSVCRT.lib(MSVCR100.dll) : error LNK2005: _malloc already defined in LIBCMT.lib(malloc.obj)
then recompile libtiff and make sure that the /MT option is used instead of /MD.
For simplicity, a 32-bit version of libtiff.dll is included inside the libtiff directory. It may be possible to use the provided DLL to compile camtiff, however if you have problems please recompile libtiff.
The official instructions for compiling libTIFF on Windows can be found
here, although the only part of the library that needs to be
compiled is the dll itself, which can be done with nmake /f Makefile.vc lib.
Again, make sure that the nmake.opt file uses the /MT linker option instead
of /MD.
Note that nmake may be most easily accessed through the VS2010 command prompt
program, and some errors may be produced if you compile the libtiff tools along
with the libtiff library files.
