Delete the word "unless".

And then create a subdirectory spandsp/tiff where you put a libtiff into it that actually works. Create this libtiff as a .a file and link spandsp statically against it, then you won't have problems with different libtiff's on the system.


That isn't what I meant. libtiff is really flaky when you give it a bad tiff file. It used to core dump on almost any fault. I fed updates back to the libtiff guys a few years ago, which I think went in. Others must have contributed most robustness too. It isn't as bad as it used to be, but I have TIFF files here which make 3.6.0 dump core. This is, of course, a rather nasty thing to have happen in a homogenous multi-threaded setup like *.
