Unless I'm wrong, the issue is not how the functions are defined on
the headers, because we don't statically link against the functions,
but how are they compiled in the library and how do we define the
fn_XXX pointers to them. In this case, the GnuWin32 TIFF 3.7.2
libraries seem to be compiled to use C calling conventions, but we
declare pointers to them with DEF_IMGLIB_FN, which says unequivocally
that they're FARPROC (i.e, "pascal").
Defining
typedef int (FAR CDECL *CFARPROC)();
#define DEF_IMGLIB_FNC(func) CFARPROC fn_##func
and using DEF_IMGLIB_FNC for the Tiff functions works.
The TIFF page in gnuwin32.sourceforge.net says:
"The GnuWin32 distribution comes in two versions. The ordinary version
uses the standard Unix equivalents, such as fopen and read, for input
and output, the other version (Tiff-win32) uses the Win32 API
functions, such as CreateFile and ReadFile, for input and output. The
ordinary version (Tiff) is more suitable for porting Unix programs,
the Win32-API version is more suitable for writing Win32 programs."
However, I'm getting the same results (problems, I mean) with the
standard and the Win32 versions.
