1 | Building instructions for the DLL versions of Zlib 1.2.8 |
| 2 | ======================================================== | |
| 3 | ||
| 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: | |
| 9 | http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | More information can be found at this site. | |

| 17 | Build instructions for Visual Studio 2008 (32 bits or 64 bits) | |
| 18 | -------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 19 | - Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files | |
| 20 | - Compile assembly code (with Visual Studio Command Prompt) by running: | |
| 21 | bld_ml64.bat (in contrib\masmx64) | |
| 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" | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | Build instructions for Visual Studio 2010 (32 bits or 64 bits) | |
| 27 | -------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 28 | - Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files | |
| 29 | - Open contrib\vstudio\vc10\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | Build instructions for Visual Studio 2012 (32 bits or 64 bits) | |
| 32 | -------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 33 | - Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files | |
| 34 | - Open contrib\vstudio\vc11\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | ||
| 37 | Important | |
| 38 | --------- | |
| 39 | - To use zlibwapi.dll in your application, you must define the | |
| 40 | macro ZLIB_WINAPI when compiling your application's source files. | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | ||
| 43 | Additional notes | |
| 44 | ---------------- | |
| 45 | - This DLL, named zlibwapi.dll, is compatible to the old zlib.dll built | |
| 46 | by Gilles Vollant from the zlib 1.1.x sources, and distributed at | |
| 47 | http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll | |
| 48 | It uses the WINAPI calling convention for the exported functions, and | |
| 49 | includes the minizip functionality. If your application needs that | |
| 50 | particular build of zlib.dll, you can rename zlibwapi.dll to zlib.dll. | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | - The new DLL was renamed because there exist several incompatible | |
| 53 | versions of zlib.dll on the Internet. | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | - There is also an official DLL build of zlib, named zlib1.dll. This one | |
| 56 | is exporting the functions using the CDECL convention. See the file | |
| 57 | win32\DLL_FAQ.txt found in this zlib distribution. | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | - There used to be a ZLIB_DLL macro in zlib 1.1.x, but now this symbol | |
| 60 | has a slightly different effect. To avoid compatibility problems, do | |
| 61 | not define it here. | |
