[OpenSlide] LibTiff dependency

[Sebastian Schmittner]

Hi,

I am compiling OpenSlide in Ubuntu 12.04.04 and during configure it states
that libtiff was not found.

*checking for LIBTIFF... no*
*checking for library containing TIFFOpen... -ltiff*

Actually libtiff4 and libtiff4-dev are installed (3.9.5-2ubuntu1.6).
pkg-config does not find it because there is no *.pc file.

The LIBS_FLAGS and C_FLAGS were also tried to be set to the folder with the
*.so files. This did not help either.

I searched the web without much success, the help on the homepage did not
help either (README with dependencies).

*This library requires zlib, libpng, libjpeg, libtiff, OpenJPEG 1.x or >= 2.1,
GDK-PixBuf, libxml2, SQLite >= 3.6.20, cairo >= 1.2, and glib >= 2.16.
Leica and Ventana support require libtiff >= 4.*


*checking for ZLIB... yes
checking for OPENJPEG2... yes (Build locally)
checking for LIBTIFF... no
checking for library containing TIFFOpen... -ltiff
checking for GLIB2... yes
checking for CAIRO... yes
checking for LIBPNG... yes
checking for GDKPIXBUF... yes
checking for LIBXML2... yes
checking for SQLITE3... yes
checking for VALGRIND... no
*


Did anybody successfully compile it on ubuntu?

Is there a *.pc file which I dont know about?
Is there a special way to compile it?
Do I have to get a special version of libtiff?

Do I need to sacrifice a chicken to compile it successfully? :p

Kind regards,
Sebastian
