Is zlib Y2K-compliant? - - Yes. zlib doesn't handle dates. - - 2. Where can I get a Windows DLL version? - - The zlib sources can be compiled without change to produce a DLL. If you - want a precompiled DLL, see http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/ . Questions - about the zlib DLL should be sent to Gilles Vollant (info@winimage.com). - - 3. Where can I get a Visual Basic interface to zlib? - - See - * http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/cmp-z-it.zip - * http://www.dogma.net/markn/articles/zlibtool/zlibtool.htm - * contrib/visual-basic.txt in the zlib distribution - - 4. compress() returns Z_BUF_ERROR - - Make sure that before the call of compress, the length of the compressed - buffer is equal to the total size of the compressed buffer and not - zero. For Visual Basic, check that this parameter is passed by reference - ("as any"), not by value ("as long"). - - 5. deflate() or inflate() returns Z_BUF_ERROR - - Before making the call, make sure that avail_in and avail_out are not - zero. When setting the parameter flush equal to Z_FINISH, also make sure - that avail_out is big enough to allow processing all pending input. - - 6. Where's the zlib documentation (man pages, etc.)? - - It's in zlib.h for the moment, and Francis S. Lin has converted it to a - web page zlib.html. Volunteers to transform this to Unix-style man pages, - please contact Jean-loup Gailly (jloup@gzip.org). Examples of zlib usage - are in the files example.c and minigzip.c. - - 7. Why don't you use GNU autoconf or libtool or ...? - - Because we would like to keep zlib as a very small and simple - package. zlib is rather portable and doesn't need much configuration. - - 8. I found a bug in zlib. - - Most of the time, such problems are due to an incorrect usage of - zlib. Please try to reproduce the problem with a small program and send - the corresponding source to us at zlib@gzip.org . Do not send - multi-megabyte data files without prior agreement. - - 9. Why do I get "undefined reference to gzputc"? - - If "make test" produces something like - - example.o(.text+0x154): undefined reference to `gzputc' - - check that you don't have old files libz.* in /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib or - /usr/X11R6/lib. Remove any old versions, then do "make install". - -10. I need a Delphi interface to zlib. - - See the directories contrib/delphi and contrib/delphi2 in the zlib - distribution. - -11. Can zlib handle .zip archives? - - See the directory contrib/minizip in the zlib distribution. - -12. Can zlib handle .Z files? - - No, sorry. You have to spawn an uncompress or gunzip subprocess, or adapt - the code of uncompress on your own. - -13. How can I make a Unix shared library? - - make clean - ./configure -s - make - -14. Why does "make test" fail on Mac OS X? - - Mac OS X already includes zlib as a shared library, and so -lz links the - shared library instead of the one that the "make" compiled. For zlib - 1.1.3, the two are incompatible due to different compile-time - options. Simply change the -lz in the Makefile to libz.a, and it will use - the compiled library instead of the shared one and the "make test" will - succeed. - -15. I have a question about OttoPDF - - We are not the authors of OttoPDF. The real author is on the OttoPDF web - site Joel Hainley jhainley@myndkryme.com. |
