[Insight-developers] ITK_USE_SYSTEM_TIFF problematic

[Williams, Norman K]

I ran into this testing building DCMTK with ITK_USE_SYSTEM_TIFF. As it
happens this problem has nothing to do with DCMTK:

ITK/Modules/IO/TIFF/src/itkTIFFImageIO.cxx: In member function Œvoid
itk::TIFFImageIO::ReadTwoSamplesPerPixelImage(void*, unsigned int,
unsigned int)¹:
ITK/Modules/IO/TIFF/src/itkTIFFImageIO.cxx:301: error:

ITK/Modules/IO/TIFF/src/itkTIFFImageIO.cxx:1972: error: Œfld¹ was not
declared in this scope

This is on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2

It appears that RHEL has an old enough TIFF version that it won't work
with TIFFImageIO.  Brad King had told me 'if you set ITK_USE_SYSTEM_DCMTK,
you should enforce using
ITK_USE_SYSTEM_JPEG,ITK_USE_SYSTEM_ZLIB,ITK_USE_SYSTEM_TIFF'  but it
appears that this may not be an option.

So Š maybe if ITK_USE_SYSTEM_TIFF is set, should TIFFLIB_VERSION in
tiffvers.h be checked and reject anything before a certain date?
