Description Marcos H. Woehrmann 2010-05-14 03:05:02 UTC 
Starting with 8.72 the command "make -f base/unix-gcc.mak" no longer produces a bin/gs file, instead producing the error:

make: *** No rule to make target `obj/libtiff_.dev', needed by `obj/libtiff.dev'.  Stop.

We need to provide a base/libtiff.mak in the same way that we provide base/libpng.mak, base/jpeg.mak, base/jbig2.mak, etc.
Comment 1 Marcos H. Woehrmann 2010-05-14 03:23:58 UTC 
It turns out that there is a base/libtiff.mak in 8.71 but it doesn't work and in head (r11236) make -f base/unix-gcc.mak fails with:

make: *** No rule to make target `obj/fapif.dev', needed by `obj/fapi.dev'.  Stop.
Comment 2 Hin-Tak Leung 2010-05-14 05:36:17 UTC 
See also bug 691264 - I changed the documentation to recommended people not to do that, because it no-longer works. If you feel it should work that way, feel free to make it work that way (and possibly also revert the change in the documentation).
Comment 3 Marcos H. Woehrmann 2010-05-14 16:46:21 UTC 
Fixed in r11241.
