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.vcto 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.
