Hi All,

I am trying to write a C program to be able to read a .tiff image. I found a C based library (libtiff) for performing various actions on tiff images in internet, which makes my work easier. But unfortunately I do not know how to add this library and use it for the VC compiler (I have MS Visual Studio 8 installed on my PC). I have downloaded the tiff-3.8.2.zip file from the website :- ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff .

It would be great to hear from someone who knows how to solve my problem as I have no idea about adding new libraries to C compilers.

Thanks in advance
Anna
Thank you
 
Add the .lib file to the list of libraries to be linked with in the Link tab of the project settings, and include any header files it comes with to your source files...
 
heyy , thanks for the tip ... but I cant find the Link tab in the project settings ! Infact there's no option for project settings :?
 
Right-click on the project in the File or Class View and click Properties.
