windows 7 64 bit visual studio 2008 libtiff build nmake error
- by user1244539
I am trying to build tiff 4.0.2 on my Windows 7 x64 system with Visual Studio 2008, but it was showing errors:

This is what I was doing:
Extracted tiff 4.0.2
In VS 2008 x64 Win 7 command prompt setting the environment for x86 by running vcvars32.bat
Changing the path to tiff 4.0.2/libtiff folder
Running nmake /f makefile.vc to create a static library of libtiff
Following these steps in Windows XP generates the .lib file but in Windows 7 it fails.
This is the first time I'm making any .lib files.
