I just found this also... downloaded 4.4.0, and got this oddness:
-- Building tiff version 4.5.0
-- libtiff library version 6.0.0
Should this not be more like:
Building TIFF version 6.0
libtiff library version 4.4.0
It's pretty much exactly backwards!
Also, building on Windows with VS 2022,
Is 4.4.0 or 4.5.0 the current release of LibTIFF?
This page http://www.simplesystems.org/libtiff/ says:
LibTIFF 4.5.0 documentation
(.)
Latest Stable Release v4.4.0
The following repo files contain conflicting information:
VERSION --> 4.4.0
configure.ac -->
