1 This directory contains project files for building zlib under various 2 Integrated Development Environments (IDE). 3 4 If you wish to submit a new project to this directory, you should comply 5 to the following requirements. Otherwise (e.g. if you wish to integrate 6 a custom piece of code that changes the zlib interface or its behavior), 7 please consider submitting the project to the contrib directory. 8 9 10 Requirements 11 ============ 12 13 - The project must build zlib using the source files from the official 14 zlib source distribution, exclusively. 15 16 - If the project produces redistributable builds (e.g. shared objects 17 or DLL files), these builds must be compatible to those produced by 18 makefiles, if such makefiles exist in the zlib distribution. 19 In particular, if the project produces a DLL build for the Win32 20 platform, this build must comply to the officially-ammended Win32 DLL 21 Application Binary Interface (ABI), described in win32/DLL_FAQ.txt. 22 23 - The project may provide additional build targets, which depend on 24 3rd-party (unofficially-supported) software, present in the contrib 25 directory. For example, it is possible to provide an "ASM build", 26 besides the officially-supported build, and have ASM source files 27 among its dependencies. 28 29 - If there are significant differences between the project files created 30 by different versions of an IDE (e.g. Visual C++ 6.0 vs. 7.0), the name 31 of the project directory should contain the version number of the IDE 32 for which the project is intended (e.g. "visualc6" for Visual C++ 6.0, 33 or "visualc7" for Visual C++ 7.0 and 7.1). 34 35 36 Current projects 37 ================ 38 39 visualc6/ by Simon-Pierre Cadieux <methodex (a] methodex.ca> 40 and Cosmin Truta <cosmint (a] cs.ubbcluj.ro> 41 Project for Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 42
