- Building instructions for the DLL versions of Zlib 1.2.7
- ========================================================
- This directory contains projects that build zlib and minizip using
- Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0/10.0.
- You don't need to build these projects yourself. You can download the
- binaries from:
- http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
- More information can be found at this site.
- Build instructions for Visual Studio 2008 (32 bits or 64 bits)
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- - Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
- - Compile assembly code (with Visual Studio Command Prompt) by running:
- bld_ml64.bat (in contrib\masmx64)
- bld_ml32.bat (in contrib\masmx86)
- - Open contrib\vstudio\vc9\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
- - Or run: vcbuild /rebuild contrib\vstudio\vc9\zlibvc.sln "Release|Win32"
- Build instructions for Visual Studio 2010 (32 bits or 64 bits)
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- - Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
- - Open contrib\vstudio\vc10\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010
- Important
- ---------
- - To use zlibwapi.dll in your application, you must define the
- macro ZLIB_WINAPI when compiling your application's source files.
- Additional notes
- ----------------
- - This DLL, named zlibwapi.dll, is compatible to the old zlib.dll built
- by Gilles Vollant from the zlib 1.1.x sources, and distributed at
- http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
- It uses the WINAPI calling convention for the exported functions, and
- includes the minizip functionality. If your application needs that
- particular build of zlib.dll, you can rename zlibwapi.dll to zlib.dll.
- - The new DLL was renamed because there exist several incompatible
- versions of zlib.dll on the Internet.
- - There is also an official DLL build of zlib, named zlib1.dll. This one
- is exporting the functions using the CDECL convention. See the file
- win32\DLL_FAQ.txt found in this zlib distribution.
- - There used to be a ZLIB_DLL macro in zlib 1.1.x, but now this symbol
- has a slightly different effect. To avoid compatibility problems, do
- not define it here.
