Sources and the build process for tiff-4.0.3-2 package

Sources and the build process for tiff-4.0.3-2 package

[Shailender Bathula]

We are using the tiff2pdf utility from Cygwin's tiff-4.0.3-2 package.

https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2014-06/msg00033.html message announced the latest package update.

Can someone please confirm the sources that package was built from and how it was built i.e. makefile, compiler options etc. That will help us see what additional fixes tiff-4.0.3-2 package has compared to 4.0.3 release of libtiff from http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/.

Thanks
Shailender

For this and any other cygwin distro package, all you have to do is
rerun setup.exe, check the 'src' box of the package you are interested
in, then look in /usr/src/ for the downstream patches (if any) that were
applied to build the package.  Many packages are built via 'cygport',
which applies consistent make rules across multiple packages, where the
package.cygport file will detail any specific overrides needed for that
package.
