1Building instructions for the DLL versions of Zlib 1.2.4
2========================================================
3
4This directory contains projects that build zlib and minizip using
5Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0/10.0, and Visual C++ .
6
7You don't need to build these projects yourself. You can download the
8binaries from:
9  http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
10
11More information can be found at this site.
12
13first compile assembly code by running
14bld_ml64.bat in contrib\masmx64
15bld_ml32.bat in contrib\masmx86

20Build instructions for Visual Studio 2008 (32 bits or 64 bits)
21--------------------------------------------------------------
22- Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
23- Open contrib\vstudio\vc9\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008.0
24- Or run: vcbuild /rebuild contrib\vstudio\vc9\zlibvc.sln "Release|Win32"
25
26Build 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++ 2010.0
30
31
32Important
33---------
34- To use zlibwapi.dll in your application, you must define the
35  macro ZLIB_WINAPI when compiling your application's source files.

38Additional 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
47- The new DLL was renamed because there exist several incompatible
48  versions of zlib.dll on the Internet.
49
50- There is also an official DLL build of zlib, named zlib1.dll. This one
51  is exporting the functions using the CDECL convention. See the file
52  win32\DLL_FAQ.txt found in this zlib distribution.
53
54- There used to be a ZLIB_DLL macro in zlib 1.1.x, but now this symbol
55  has a slightly different effect. To avoid compatibility problems, do
56  not define it here.
