Win7 64bit installation fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libtiff_d.lib'

[agryanik]

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to build dcmtk on my Win7 64-bit machine with VC9. I'm getting following fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libtiff_d.lib' for dcml2pnm, dcmj2pnm and dcm2pnm projects. "Additional Library Directory" entries are correct. The only thing is I'm using zlib-1.2.5, png-1.5.2 and tiff-3.9.5.
Any ideas?

Hi Alex,

this is a pretty clear linker error: Check directly the linker directories in Visual Studio for the tools where the error occurs and make sure you have the file libtiff_d.lib stored there. I don't see any other reason that could prodcuce that error.

HTH,
Michael

Hi Michael,

I'm pretty sure I have linked all libs correctly. Here are my error messages

Just for sure maybe I'm doing something wrong
1. Open VC9 project
2. Right click on dcm2pnm -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories
I have following entries there
L:\extern\libraries\tiff\3.9.5\DEPS_zlib=1.2.5\amd64\win\vc9\lib\$(OutDir)
L:\extern\libraries\tiff\3.9.5\DEPS_zlib=1.2.5\amd64\win\vc9\lib

libtiff_d.lib and libtiff_d.pdb are in "L:\extern\libraries\tiff\3.9.5\DEPS_zlib=1.2.5\amd64\win\vc9\lib"

$(OutDir) is "Debug" or "Release" depending on compilation mode. I put libtiff_d.lib and libtiff_d.pdb in Debug folder, too.
