Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 05:02:00 -0000 Message-id: <376E2969.4AA1BA97@mvt.tu-clausthal.de> X-SW-Source: 1999-06/msg00462.html Hello, first of all: thank you for your help! This RTFM! goes to me. I was not aware of the CR/LF problem and the differences between text and binary mode because I never browsed through the documentation. I did not even know that you can open files in text-mode, it sounds like a strange idea to me. Because I'm working on many platforms, I create and edit only text files with UNIX-style line-endings on Windows and I'm trying to keep my environment CR/LF-free. Will I experience problems within the cygwin-environment, if I use only text=binary mounts? BTW: I've changed the single open() call in the libtiff-source to open the file as binary ( If I remember correctly the value O_BINARY is defined, I added '|0x100000' to the mode bits). It now seems to work now even with my default text!=binary mount. I could compile and link my application and used it without problems. I wrote 'it seems to work', because the 'thumbnail' binary still does not work. Maybe there is another reason why, 'tiff2ps' does work. I do not have the knowlegde to make a complete port using the configure script and I still want to be sure that I did the right thing. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
