  1. Building instructions for the DLL versions of Zlib 1.3.1
  2. ========================================================
  3. This directory contains projects that build zlib and minizip using
  4. Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0/10.0.
  5. You don't need to build these projects yourself. You can download the
  6. binaries from:
  7. http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
  8. More information can be found at this site.
  9. Build instructions for Visual Studio 2008 (32 bits or 64 bits)
  10. --------------------------------------------------------------
  11. - Decompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
  12. - Open contrib\vstudio\vc9\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
  13. - Or run: vcbuild /rebuild contrib\vstudio\vc9\zlibvc.sln "Release|Win32"
  14. Build instructions for Visual Studio 2010 (32 bits or 64 bits)
  15. --------------------------------------------------------------
  16. - Decompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
  17. - Open contrib\vstudio\vc10\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010
  18. Build instructions for Visual Studio 2012 (32 bits or 64 bits)
  19. --------------------------------------------------------------
  20. - Decompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
  21. - Open contrib\vstudio\vc11\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2012
  22. Build instructions for Visual Studio 2013 (32 bits or 64 bits)
  23. --------------------------------------------------------------
  24. - Decompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
  25. - Open contrib\vstudio\vc12\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2013
  26. Build instructions for Visual Studio 2015 (32 bits or 64 bits)
  27. --------------------------------------------------------------
  28. - Decompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
  29. - Open contrib\vstudio\vc14\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2015
  30. Build instructions for Visual Studio 2022 (64 bits)
  31. --------------------------------------------------------------
  32. - Decompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
  33. - Open contrib\vstudio\vc143\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2022
  34. Important
  35. ---------
  36. - To use zlibwapi.dll in your application, you must define the
  37. macro ZLIB_WINAPI when compiling your application's source files.
  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. - The new DLL was renamed because there exist several incompatible
  47. versions of zlib.dll on the Internet.
  48. - There is also an official DLL build of zlib, named zlib1.dll. This one
  49. is exporting the functions using the CDECL convention. See the file
  50. win32\DLL_FAQ.txt found in this zlib distribution.
  51. - There used to be a ZLIB_DLL macro in zlib 1.1.x, but now this symbol
  52. has a slightly different effect. To avoid compatibility problems, do
  53. not define it here.
