I would like to use the libtiff library within Cint. So I made a Linkdef.h file and tried to run rootcint from windows command prompt. But it didn’t work.
I guess I either use the syntax under windows wrong in Linkdef.h or I didn’t copied the tiff library headers and dlls/libs to the proper place, etc.
I would need a little help.
My tiffLinkdef.h file looks like this (I am sure the pathes are not okay):
#ifdefCINT
#pragma link C++ defined_in c:\root\include\tif\tiff.h; #pragma link C++ defined_in c:\root\include\tif\tiffconf.h; #pragma link C++ defined_in c:\root\include\tif\tiffio.h; #pragma link C++ defined_in c:\root\include\tif\tiffvers.h;
#pragma link C++ all; #pragma link C++ all_function; #pragma link C++ all_datamember;
#endif
I copied everything (*.h, *.dll, *.lib, etc) to my c:\root\include\tif folder for convenience - I don’t know if it is okay like this or not…
Then I run the rootcint:
C:\root\include\tif>rootcint.exe -f dicttiff.cxx -c -I"c:\root\include\tif\libti
ff" -p “c:\root\include\tif\tiff.h” “c:\root\include\tif\tiffconf.h” “c:\root\in
clude\tif\tiffio.h” "c:\root\include\tif\tiffvers.h"

Hi,
can you try it without directories, i.e. cd whereverTheTiffHeadersAre and then run rootcint, and adjust LinkDef.h accordingly (i.e. take just the file name)? Also, you should use link C, not C++, as from all I know libtiff is C.
Axel.

Hi,
if you compile the dictionary with ACLiC it will create a dictionary for the dictionary. Not a good idea. You’ll have to use a Makefile to compile and link the dictionary.
Cheers, Axel.
Hi,
cygwin and a Makefile. Or write a batch script, or type it in by hand each time. But cygwin + Makefile is best. Check test/Makefile for an example. ROOT cannot really help you with that (currently - we’ll have a new ACLiC in 1/2 year which will allow you to do just what you need).
Cheers, Axel.
