|
| 4 | This directory contains projects that build zlib and minizip using
|
| 5 | Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0/10.0.
|
| 6 |
|
| 7 | You don't need to build these projects yourself. You can download the
|
| 8 | binaries from:

|
| 18 | --------------------------------------------------------------
|
| 19 | - Decompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files

|
| 22 | bld_ml32.bat (in contrib\masmx86)
|
| 23 | - Open contrib\vstudio\vc9\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
|
| 24 | - Or run: vcbuild /rebuild contrib\vstudio\vc9\zlibvc.sln "Release|Win32"

|
| 47 | Important
|
| 48 | ---------
|
| 49 | - To use zlibwapi.dll in your application, you must define the
|
| 50 | macro ZLIB_WINAPI when compiling your application's source files.
|
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
|
| 53 | Additional notes
|
| 54 | ----------------
|
| 55 | - This DLL, named zlibwapi.dll, is compatible to the old zlib.dll built
|
| 56 | by Gilles Vollant from the zlib 1.1.x sources, and distributed at
|
| 57 | http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
|
| 58 | It uses the WINAPI calling convention for the exported functions, and
|
| 59 | includes the minizip functionality. If your application needs that
|
| 60 | particular build of zlib.dll, you can rename zlibwapi.dll to zlib.dll.
|
| 61 |
|
| 62 | - The new DLL was renamed because there exist several incompatible
|
| 63 | versions of zlib.dll on the Internet.
|
| 64 |
|
| 65 | - There is also an official DLL build of zlib, named zlib1.dll. This one
|
| 66 | is exporting the functions using the CDECL convention. See the file
|
| 67 | win32\DLL_FAQ.txt found in this zlib distribution.
|
| 68 |
|
| 69 | - There used to be a ZLIB_DLL macro in zlib 1.1.x, but now this symbol
|
| 70 | has a slightly different effect. To avoid compatibility problems, do
|
| 71 | not define it here.
