It looks like hylafax3, xpaint-2.1.1 and netpbm-94.3.1 depend on tiff-3.3 (to name a few). So it looks like a separate libtiff3.4 would be necessary. Also, I found a little mistake I made with the port which basically renders the tools useless. I have fixed the port, changed the directory name from tiff to tiff34, uploaded it to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/tiff34.tar.gz, and used send-pr (just like it says to do in the handbook). I also sent a copy of the diff which adds DSO (shared library) support for FreeBSD to Sam Leffler; hopefully we'll have DSO support for FreeBSD built into the next release of libtiff. I just hope I did everything right! -Rich
