|
|---|
| 5 | Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0/10.0, and Visual C++ .
|

| 6 |
|
|---|
| 7 | You don't need to build these projects yourself. You can download the
|

| 21 | --------------------------------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 22 | - Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
|
|---|
| 23 | - Open contrib\vstudio\vc9\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008.0
|
|---|
| 24 | - Or run: vcbuild /rebuild contrib\vstudio\vc9\zlibvc.sln "Release|Win32"

|
|---|
| 28 | - Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
|

| 32 | Important
|
|---|
| 33 | ---------
|
|---|
| 34 | - To use zlibwapi.dll in your application, you must define the
|
|---|
| 35 | macro ZLIB_WINAPI when compiling your application's source files.
|

| 38 | Additional notes
|
|---|
| 39 | ----------------
|
|---|
| 40 | - This DLL, named zlibwapi.dll, is compatible to the old zlib.dll built
|
|---|
| 41 | by Gilles Vollant from the zlib 1.1.x sources, and distributed at
|
|---|
| 42 | http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
|
|---|
| 43 | It uses the WINAPI calling convention for the exported functions, and
|
|---|
| 44 | includes the minizip functionality. If your application needs that
|
|---|
| 45 | particular build of zlib.dll, you can rename zlibwapi.dll to zlib.dll.
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | - The new DLL was renamed because there exist several incompatible
|
|---|
| 48 | versions of zlib.dll on the Internet.
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | - There is also an official DLL build of zlib, named zlib1.dll. This one
|
|---|
| 51 | is exporting the functions using the CDECL convention. See the file
|
|---|
| 52 | win32\DLL_FAQ.txt found in this zlib distribution.
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | - There used to be a ZLIB_DLL macro in zlib 1.1.x, but now this symbol
|
|---|
| 55 | has a slightly different effect. To avoid compatibility problems, do
|
|---|
| 56 | not define it here.
