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.
