If you look at the ImageMagick/magick/version.h file you will
see that the release date is March 1, 1999. This means the files can and
will change until that date (the official release date). Once March 1
comes and goes there will be no changes to the 4.2.0 release and I will
start working on 4.2.1. So for porters the best thing to do is to always
release one version back or look at the release date and not use the
release until that date.
So it may change yet again.
won't help much until the dang kernel is fixed, but...
(this will probably fixed in xanim's next official release, if I can get
Podlipec to clean his audio code somewhat)
version was left at 1.0. Oops. The old tiff (3.3) installed as
libtiff.so.3.3. Install tiff34 as libtiff.so.3.4 but keep the libtiff34
link at version 1.0. confusing but it seems to work correctly.
Update all ports that depend upon tiff so the dependency is on
tiff.3.4.
2) change tiff/Makefile to spit out message saying to use tiff34
remove all tiff files, patches, and pkg data; they're no longer needed
3) install tiff34 as libtiff, tiff.h, and tiffio.h; add symbolic links
so the old names of libtiff34, tiff34.h, and tiffio34.h still work.
4) Change ImageMagick to use -ltiff, not -ltiff34; remove the patch
files and directory as they are no longer needed.
5) Change gimp to use -ltiff, not -ltiff34; remove the patch files and
directory as they are no longer needed.
NOTE: with these changes ImageMagick and gimp require the updated tiff34
port.
