CiderPress and MDC now compile, and execute far enough to open their respective "about" boxes, but I doubt they'll do much more than that. * Switch from MBCS to UNICODE APIs Microsoft switched to UTF-16 (by way of UCS-2) a long time ago, and the support for MBCS seems to be getting phased out. So it's time to switch to wide strings. This is a bit awkward for CiderPress because it works with disk and file archives with 8-bit filenames, and I want NufxLib and DiskImgLib to continue to work on Linux (which has largely taken the UTF-8 approach to Unicode). The libraries will continue to work with 8-bit filenames, with CiderPress/MDC doing the conversion at the appropriate point. There were a couple of places where strings from a structure handed back by one of the libraries were used directly in the UI, or vice-versa, which is a problem because we have nowhere to store the result of the conversion. These currently have fixed place-holder "xyzzy" strings. All UI strings are now wide. Various format strings now use "%ls" and "%hs" to explicitly specify wide and narrow. This doesn't play well with gcc, so only the Windows-specific parts use those. * Various updates to vcxproj files The project-file conversion had some cruft that is now largely gone. The build now has a common output directory for the EXEs and libraries, avoiding the old post-build copy steps. * Added zlib 1.2.8 and nufxlib 2.2.2 source snapshots The old "prebuilts" directory is now gone. The libraries are now built as part of building the apps. I added a minimal set of files for zlib, and a full set for nufxlib. The Linux-specific nufxlib goodies are included for the benefit of the Linux utilities, which are currently broken (don't build). * Replace symbols used for include guards Symbols with a leading "__" are reserved. |

ZLIB DATA COMPRESSION LIBRARY
zlib 1.2.8 is a general purpose data compression library. All the code is
thread safe. The data format used by the zlib library is described by RFCs
(Request for Comments) 1950 to 1952 in the files
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1950 (zlib format), rfc1951 (deflate format) and
rfc1952 (gzip format).
All functions of the compression library are documented in the file zlib.h
(volunteer to write man pages welcome, contact zlib@gzip.org). A usage example
of the library is given in the file test/example.c which also tests that
the library is working correctly. Another example is given in the file
test/minigzip.c. The compression library itself is composed of all source
files in the root directory.
To compile all files and run the test program, follow the instructions given at
the top of Makefile.in. In short "./configure; make test", and if that goes
well, "make install" should work for most flavors of Unix. For Windows, use
one of the special makefiles in win32/ or contrib/vstudio/ . For VMS, use
make_vms.com.
Questions about zlib should be sent to <zlib@gzip.org>, or to Gilles Vollant
<info@winimage.com> for the Windows DLL version. The zlib home page is
http://zlib.net/ . Before reporting a problem, please check this site to
verify that you have the latest version of zlib; otherwise get the latest
version and check whether the problem still exists or not.
PLEASE read the zlib FAQ http://zlib.net/zlib_faq.html before asking for help.
Mark Nelson <markn@ieee.org> wrote an article about zlib for the Jan. 1997
issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal; a copy of the article is available at
http://marknelson.us/1997/01/01/zlib-engine/ .
The changes made in version 1.2.8 are documented in the file ChangeLog.
Unsupported third party contributions are provided in directory contrib/ .
zlib is available in Java using the java.util.zip package, documented at
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/compression/ .
A Perl interface to zlib written by Paul Marquess <pmqs@cpan.org> is available
at CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) sites, including
http://search.cpan.org/~pmqs/IO-Compress-Zlib/ .
A Python interface to zlib written by A.M. Kuchling <amk@amk.ca> is
available in Python 1.5 and later versions, see
http://docs.python.org/library/zlib.html .
zlib is built into tcl: http://wiki.tcl.tk/4610 .
An experimental package to read and write files in .zip format, written on top
of zlib by Gilles Vollant <info@winimage.com>, is available in the
contrib/minizip directory of zlib.
Notes for some targets:
- For Windows DLL versions, please see win32/DLL_FAQ.txt
- For 64-bit Irix, deflate.c must be compiled without any optimization. With
-O, one libpng test fails. The test works in 32 bit mode (with the -n32
compiler flag). The compiler bug has been reported to SGI.
- zlib doesn't work with gcc 2.6.3 on a DEC 3000/300LX under OSF/1 2.1 it works
when compiled with cc.
- On Digital Unix 4.0D (formely OSF/1) on AlphaServer, the cc option -std1 is
necessary to get gzprintf working correctly. This is done by configure.
- zlib doesn't work on HP-UX 9.05 with some versions of /bin/cc. It works with
other compilers. Use "make test" to check your compiler.
- gzdopen is not supported on RISCOS or BEOS.
- For PalmOs, see http://palmzlib.sourceforge.net/
Acknowledgments:
The deflate format used by zlib was defined by Phil Katz. The deflate and
zlib specifications were written by L. Peter Deutsch. Thanks to all the
people who reported problems and suggested various improvements in zlib; they
are too numerous to cite here.
