- Yes, version 3.3 of the tiff library *requires* an ANSI C compiler, and I
- don't think the dec-supplied compiler in Ultrix is such a beastie. If you
- have gcc installed on your machine, that should do the trick. Otherwise, you
- could try to live without the TIFF support. I don't know if that's feasible
- for you...

- > Will XV 3.10 compile with the TIFF 3.2 libaries??
-
- A definite maybe. I don't *think* there were any major changes between 3.2
- and 3.3 that would keep XV 3.10 from linking to the 3.2 libraries, but I can't
- say that I've ever tried it.
-
- If that doesn't work, you might try snarfing the 'ansi2knr.c' program from the
- jpeg directory, and running it on all the .c and .h files in the tiff
- directory. It purports to de-ANSIfy C code, and it may do the trick. Again,
- I don't know how successful you'll be...
