  3. Why to use VC6 ?
  4. It avoids DLL Hell as the runtime is present on all Windows Versions since XP.
  5. I compile on Windows 10 64 bit.
  6. How to compile:
  7. $ZR is the zint root folder (this file is in $ZR\win32\zint_cmdline_vc6)
  8. * get vc6 shell
  9. if not available in the Start Menu, open a Command Prompt and run
  10. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\VCVARS32.BAT"
  11. a) zlib (current version: 1.2.13)
  12. * put zlib to $ZR\..\zlib
  13. cd $ZR\..\zlib
  14. nmake -f win32\Makefile.msc
  15. -> generates zlib.lib, zlib1.dll
  16. b) lpng (current version: 1.6.39)
  17. * put libpng to $ZR\..\lpng
  18. cd $ZR\..\lpng
  19. nmake -f scripts\makefile.vcwin32
  20. -> generates $ZR\..\lpng\libpng.lib
  21. c) open zint_cmdline_vc6.dsw in this folder with the msvc6 gui and compile
