HI Csaba and Luigi, I've just review Csaba's changes and think I understand their intent. I've also looked at the LibTIFF website and now know where the story behind the optional jpeg and zlib depednencies in tiff.
The new FindTIFF.cmake looks it really belongs as modification of CMake's existing Modules, and that we should already be using TIFF_LIBRARIES rather than TIFF_LIBRARY in the src/osgPlugins/tiff/CMakeLists.txt to pick up on such a change. I've applied the later change. I think the right thing to do with the FindTIFF.cmake changes is to send them to the CMake dev team with an explanation about the optional linking and link to the libtiff explanation on build: http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/build.html It might be that the CMake team would have a better solution to this type of problem, but even if they don't this problem will afflict other libtiff/CMake users in the same way that it's effected you guys so we'd be helping far more people in this change. Csaba could you post your LibTIFF.cmake to the Cmake team and let us know what happens. Cheers, Robert.
