-Building instructions for the DLL versions of Zlib 1.2.x
-=======================================================
-
-This directory contains projects that build zlib and minizip using
-Microsoft Visual C++ 7.0/7.1.
-
-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
-------------------
-- Unzip zlib*.zip and copy the files from contrib\vstudio\vc7,
- from contrib\vstudio\masmx86 and from contrib\minizip into the same
- directory.
-- Download the crtdll library from
- http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/crtdll.zip
- Unzip crtdll.zip to extract crtdll.lib.
-- If you are using x86, use the Release target.
-- Open zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 7.0 or 7.1
- (Visual Studio .Net 2002 or 2003).
-
-
-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.
