      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.
