HOWTO

# libtiff 4.6.0
# =============
# Slackware 14.0: libtiff 3.9.6
# Slackware 14.1: libtiff 3.9.7
# Slackware 14.2: libtiff 4.0.6
# Slackware 15.0: libtiff 4.3.0

# In addition to the provided home page link, you can also find it here:
# https://libtiff.gitlab.io/libtiff/

# If you ever want to uninstall libtiff, or clean out files from an old
# version before installing a new one, skip down to the bottom for
# instructions

# Also, be aware that if you go from an old version that uses (for example)
# libtiff.so.1 as a shared library name and you upgrade to one that uses
# libtiff.so.2, if you remove the old one, any apps that are linked with
# it will fail to run.  Creating a symlink from .1 to .2 may fix it,
# leaving the old one there may allow things to continue to work too.  The
# best bet would be to rebuild and reinstall anything linked with libtiff's
# shared library.

# Prerequisites:
# zlib
# libjpeg
# jbigkit's libjbig
# xz's liblzma
# zstd
# webp
# Python
# Sphinx (see below)
# XFree86 or X.org

# Mailing list: libtiff 4.6.0 is released
# GitLab release page: Changes in TIFF v4.6.0

# Install Sphinx:
su
python3 -m pip install -U pip
python3 -m pip install -U sphinx
exit

# Get the source tarball
cd
test -f installed/tiff-4.6.0.tar.xz && mv installed/tiff-4.6.0.tar.xz .
test ! -f tiff-4.6.0.tar.xz &&
wget https://download.osgeo.org/libtiff/tiff-4.6.0.tar.xz

# Verify tarball w/ gpg:
( gpg --list-keys B1FA7D81EEB8E66399178B9733EBBFC47B3DD87D > \
/dev/null 2>&1 ||
  gpg --recv-keys B1FA7D81EEB8E66399178B9733EBBFC47B3DD87D ) &&
wget -nc https://download.osgeo.org/libtiff/tiff-4.6.0.tar.xz.sig &&
  gpg --verify tiff-4.6.0.tar.xz.sig

# Extract the source
mkdir -p -m 0700 ~/src

# You may, or may not, want to clean up old files from previously installed
# versions, if you did not remove all of them below before you started.
# Note: you may also find a libtiff and libtiffxx from the aaa_elflibs
# package.  Use lsof to see if anything running as a daemon or GUI based
# app is linked with libtiff.

# Install it
make install

# Become yourself again
