libtiff package does not support large files

Description

Garrett reports that the libtiff package (libtiff-4.0.0dev-1) does not support large files (larger than 2GB or perhaps 4GB). Likely it needs to be recompiled to use tif_win32.c (or perhaps tif_unix.c?).

This does not affect GDAL which uses it's own file io layer, but does affect stuff like tiffcp.

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to fixed

I have rebuilt the libtiff packages from CVS head, and changed the nmake.opt file to use tif_win32.c instead of tif_unix.c. I have confirmed that tiffcp now works on >4gb files.
