1 | Building instructions for the DLL versions of Zlib 1.2.7\r |
| 2 | ========================================================\r | |
| 3 | \r | |
| 4 | This directory contains projects that build zlib and minizip using\r | |
| 5 | Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0/10.0.\r | |
| 6 | \r | |
| 7 | You don't need to build these projects yourself. You can download the\r | |
| 8 | binaries from:\r | |
| 9 | http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll\r | |
| 10 | \r | |
| 11 | More information can be found at this site.\r | |

| 17 | Build instructions for Visual Studio 2008 (32 bits or 64 bits)\r | |
| 18 | --------------------------------------------------------------\r | |
| 19 | - Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files\r | |
| 20 | - Compile assembly code (with Visual Studio Command Prompt) by running:\r | |
| 21 | bld_ml64.bat (in contrib\masmx64)\r | |
| 22 | bld_ml32.bat (in contrib\masmx86)\r | |
| 23 | - Open contrib\vstudio\vc9\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008\r | |
| 24 | - Or run: vcbuild /rebuild contrib\vstudio\vc9\zlibvc.sln "Release|Win32"\r | |
| 25 | \r | |
| 26 | Build instructions for Visual Studio 2010 (32 bits or 64 bits)\r | |
| 27 | --------------------------------------------------------------\r | |
| 28 | - Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files\r | |
| 29 | - Open contrib\vstudio\vc10\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010\r | |
| 30 | \r | |
| 31 | \r | |
| 32 | Important\r | |
| 33 | ---------\r | |
| 34 | - To use zlibwapi.dll in your application, you must define the\r | |
| 35 | macro ZLIB_WINAPI when compiling your application's source files.\r | |
| 36 | \r | |
| 37 | \r | |
| 38 | Additional notes\r | |
| 39 | ----------------\r | |
| 40 | - This DLL, named zlibwapi.dll, is compatible to the old zlib.dll built\r | |
| 41 | by Gilles Vollant from the zlib 1.1.x sources, and distributed at\r | |
| 42 | http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll\r | |
| 43 | It uses the WINAPI calling convention for the exported functions, and\r | |
| 44 | includes the minizip functionality. If your application needs that\r | |
| 45 | particular build of zlib.dll, you can rename zlibwapi.dll to zlib.dll.\r | |
| 46 | \r | |
| 47 | - The new DLL was renamed because there exist several incompatible\r | |
| 48 | versions of zlib.dll on the Internet.\r | |
| 49 | \r | |
| 50 | - There is also an official DLL build of zlib, named zlib1.dll. This one\r | |
| 51 | is exporting the functions using the CDECL convention. See the file\r | |
| 52 | win32\DLL_FAQ.txt found in this zlib distribution.\r | |
| 53 | \r | |
| 54 | - There used to be a ZLIB_DLL macro in zlib 1.1.x, but now this symbol\r | |
| 55 | has a slightly different effect. To avoid compatibility problems, do\r | |
| 56 | not define it here.\r | |
