README.projects
1This directory contains project files for building zlib under various
2Integrated Development Environments (IDE).

4If you wish to submit a new project to this directory, you should comply
5to the following requirements. Otherwise (e.g. if you wish to integrate
6a custom piece of code that changes the zlib interface or its behavior),
7please consider submitting the project to the contrib directory.

10Requirements
11============
12
13- The project must build zlib using the source files from the official
14 zlib source distribution, exclusively.
15
16- If the project produces redistributable builds (e.g. shared objects
17 or DLL files), these builds must be compatible to those produced by
18 makefiles, if such makefiles exist in the zlib distribution.
19 In particular, if the project produces a DLL build for the Win32
20 platform, this build must comply to the officially-ammended Win32 DLL
21 Application Binary Interface (ABI), described in win32/DLL_FAQ.txt.
22
23- The project may provide additional build targets, which depend on
24 3rd-party (unofficially-supported) software, present in the contrib
25 directory. For example, it is possible to provide an "ASM build",
26 besides the officially-supported build, and have ASM source files
27 among its dependencies.
28
29- If there are significant differences between the project files created
30 by different versions of an IDE (e.g. Visual C++ 6.0 vs. 7.0), the name
31 of the project directory should contain the version number of the IDE
32 for which the project is intended (e.g. "visualc6" for Visual C++ 6.0,
33 or "visualc7" for Visual C++ 7.0 and 7.1).
