      1 Building instructions for the DLL versions of Zlib 1.2.4
      2 ========================================================
      3 
      4 This directory contains projects that build zlib and minizip using
      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
      8 binaries from:
      9   http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
     10 
     11 More information can be found at this site.

     13 first compile assembly code by running
     14 bld_ml64.bat in contrib\masmx64
     15 bld_ml32.bat in contrib\masmx86

     20 Build instructions for Visual Studio 2008 (32 bits or 64 bits)
     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"
     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++ 2010.0
     30

     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.
     36 
     37 
     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.
