zlib123dllx64

Zlib 1.2.3 DLL and Library for Windows 64 bits - x64 dll_x64\zlibvc.sln : replace contrib\vstudio\vc8\zlibvc.sln of zlib 1.2.3 (minor fix) dll_x64\zlibwapi.dll : DLL of Zlib 1.2.3 for Windows 64 bits x64 (AMD64/Intel EM64T) dll_x64\zlibwapi.lib : The Import library of the DLL dll_x64\demo\miniunz.exe: sample which uses the DLL dll_x64\demo\minizip.exe: sample which uses the DLL dll_x64\demo\testzlib.exe: sample which uses the DLL static_x64\zlibstat.lib These binary were build using Platform SDK windows 2003 SP1 compiler The zlib.h must be the version from zlib123.zip / zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz Note : the DLLuses the WINAPI calling convention for the exported functions, and includes the minizip functionality. If you want rebuild these file, for your information : 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++ 2005. 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. Gilles Vollant info@winimage.com
