32 Important
|
|
Chris@4
|
33 ---------
|
|
Chris@4
|
34 - To use zlibwapi.dll in your application, you must define the
|
|
Chris@4
|
35 macro ZLIB_WINAPI when compiling your application's source files.

38 Additional notes
|
|
Chris@4
|
39 ----------------
|
|
Chris@4
|
40 - This DLL, named zlibwapi.dll, is compatible to the old zlib.dll built
|
|
Chris@4
|
41 by Gilles Vollant from the zlib 1.1.x sources, and distributed at
|
|
Chris@4
|
42 http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
|
|
Chris@4
|
43 It uses the WINAPI calling convention for the exported functions, and
|
|
Chris@4
|
44 includes the minizip functionality. If your application needs that
|
|
Chris@4
|
45 particular build of zlib.dll, you can rename zlibwapi.dll to zlib.dll.
|
|
Chris@4
|
46
|
|
Chris@4
|
47 - The new DLL was renamed because there exist several incompatible
|
|
Chris@4
|
48 versions of zlib.dll on the Internet.
|
|
Chris@4
|
49
|
|
Chris@4
|
50 - There is also an official DLL build of zlib, named zlib1.dll. This one
|
|
Chris@4
|
51 is exporting the functions using the CDECL convention. See the file
|
|
Chris@4
|
52 win32\DLL_FAQ.txt found in this zlib distribution.
|
|
Chris@4
|
53
|
|
Chris@4
|
54 - There used to be a ZLIB_DLL macro in zlib 1.1.x, but now this symbol
|
|
Chris@4
|
55 has a slightly different effect. To avoid compatibility problems, do
|
|
Chris@4
|
56 not define it here.
