-Building instructions for the DLL versions of Zlib 1.2.3
-========================================================
-
-This directory contains projects that build zlib and minizip using
-Microsoft Visual C++ 7.0/7.1, and Visual C++ .
-
-You don't need to build these projects yourself. You can download the
-binaries from:
- http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
-
-More information can be found at this site.
-
-
-Build instructions for Visual Studio 7.x (32 bits)
---------------------------------------------------
-- Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
-- Download the crtdll library from
- http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/crtdll.zip
- Unzip crtdll.zip to extract crtdll.lib on contrib\vstudio\vc7.
-- Open contrib\vstudio\vc7\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 7.x
- (Visual Studio .Net 2002 or 2003).
-
-Build instructions for Visual Studio 2005 (32 bits or 64 bits)
---------------------------------------------------------------
-- Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
-- For 32 bits only: download the crtdll library from
- http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/crtdll.zip
- Unzip crtdll.zip to extract crtdll.lib on contrib\vstudio\vc8.
-- Open contrib\vstudio\vc8\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0
-
-Build instructions for Visual Studio 2005 64 bits, PSDK compiler
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-at the time of writing this text file, Visual Studio 2005 (and
- Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0) is on the beta 2 stage.
-Using you can get the free 64 bits compiler from Platform SDK,
- which is NOT a beta, and compile using the Visual studio 2005 IDE
-see http://www.winimage.com/misc/sdk64onvs2005/ for instruction
-
-- Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
-- start Visual Studio 2005 from a platform SDK command prompt, using
- the /useenv switch
-- Open contrib\vstudio\vc8\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0
-
-
-Important
----------
-- To use zlibwapi.dll in your application, you must define the
- macro ZLIB_WINAPI when compiling your application's source files.
-
-
-Additional notes
-----------------
-- This DLL, named zlibwapi.dll, is compatible to the old zlib.dll built
- by Gilles Vollant from the zlib 1.1.x sources, and distributed at
- http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
- It uses the WINAPI calling convention for the exported functions, and
- includes the minizip functionality. If your application needs that
- particular build of zlib.dll, you can rename zlibwapi.dll to zlib.dll.
-
-- The new DLL was renamed because there exist several incompatible
- versions of zlib.dll on the Internet.
-
-- There is also an official DLL build of zlib, named zlib1.dll. This one
- is exporting the functions using the CDECL convention. See the file
- win32\DLL_FAQ.txt found in this zlib distribution.
-
-- There used to be a ZLIB_DLL macro in zlib 1.1.x, but now this symbol
- has a slightly different effect. To avoid compatibility problems, do
- not define it here.
