LLVM CHANGES TO ZLIB
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes made by the LLVM Team (llvmdev@cs.uiuc.edu, 2/6/2004):
|
||
|
1) Makefile was modified for building with the LLVM build system and tools.
|
||
|
2) Version numbers were updated as described in the FAQ.
|
||
|
3) LLVM LICENSE.TXT file was added describing licensing information.
|
||
|
|
||
|
ZLIB DATA COMPRESSION LIBRARY
|
||
|
|
||
|
zlib 1.2.1 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://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1950.txt (zlib format), rfc1951.txt (deflate format)
|
||
|
and rfc1952.txt (gzip format). These documents are also available in other
|
||
|
formats from ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/documents/zlib/zdoc-index.html
|
||
|
|
||
|
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 example.c which also tests that the library
|
||
|
is working correctly. Another example is given in the file minigzip.c. The
|
||
|
compression library itself is composed of all source files except example.c and
|
||
|
minigzip.c.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To compile all files and run the test program, follow the instructions given at
|
||
|
the top of Makefile. In short "make test; make install" should work for most
|
||
|
machines. For Unix: "./configure; make test; make install" For MSDOS, use one
|
||
|
of the special makefiles such as Makefile.msc. For VMS, use Make_vms.com or
|
||
|
descrip.mms.
|
||
|
|
||
|
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://www.zlib.org or http://www.gzip.org/zlib/ 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://www.gzip.org/zlib/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 in
|
||
|
http://dogma.net/markn/articles/zlibtool/zlibtool.htm
|
||
|
|
||
|
The changes made in version 1.2.1 are documented in the file ChangeLog.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Unsupported third party contributions are provided in directory "contrib".
|
||
|
|
||
|
A Java implementation of zlib is available in the Java Development Kit
|
||
|
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/zip/package-summary.html
|
||
|
See the zlib home page http://www.zlib.org for details.
|
||
|
|
||
|
A Perl interface to zlib written by Paul Marquess <pmqs@cpan.org> is in the
|
||
|
CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) sites
|
||
|
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Compress/
|
||
|
|
||
|
A Python interface to zlib written by A.M. Kuchling <amk@magnet.com> is
|
||
|
available in Python 1.5 and later versions, see
|
||
|
http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-zlib.html
|
||
|
|
||
|
A zlib binding for TCL written by Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> is
|
||
|
availlable at http://www.oche.de/~akupries/soft/trf/trf_zip.html
|
||
|
|
||
|
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, BEOS and by some Mac compilers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- For PalmOs, see http://palmzlib.sourceforge.net/
|
||
|
|
||
|
- When building a shared, i.e. dynamic library on Mac OS X, the library must be
|
||
|
installed before testing (do "make install" before "make test"), since the
|
||
|
library location is specified in the library.

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.
