ZLib for Ada thick binding (ZLib.Ada)
|
||
|
|
Release 1.2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ZLib.Ada is a thick binding interface to the popular ZLib data
|
||
|
|
compression library, available at http://www.gzip.org/zlib/.
|
||
|
|
It provides Ada-style access to the ZLib C library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here are the main changes since ZLib.Ada 1.1:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The default header type has a name "Default" now. Auto is used only for
|
||
|
|
automatic GZip/ZLib header detection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Added test for multitasking mtest.adb.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Added GNAT project file zlib.gpr.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How to build ZLib.Ada under GNAT
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should have the ZLib library already build on your computer, before
|
||
|
|
building ZLib.Ada. Make the directory of ZLib.Ada sources current and
|
||
|
|
issue the command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gnatmake test -largs -L<directory where libz.a is> -lz
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or use the GNAT project file build for GNAT 3.15 or later:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gnatmake -Pzlib.gpr -L<directory where libz.a is>
|
||
|
|

How to use ZLib.Ada
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
||
|
|
the main functionality of ZLib.Ada.
