| For your convenience and allowed by zlib's license terms: | ||
| http://www.gzip.org/zlib/zlib_license.html a copy of the zlib source | ||
| is bundled with SimGear in $(top_srcdir)/src-libs/. You must have | ||
| zlib installed before you can build SimGear. | ||
| zlib is prerequisite for compiling SimGear and FlightGear. You can fetch | ||
| the latest version of zlib from: | ||
|
|
||
| - Most linux distributions have a zlib package. For linux | ||
| developers, we recommend ysou install your distributions package | ||
| rather than building from source. | ||
| http://www.zlib.net | ||
|
|
||
| - Cygwin installs zlib automatically. | ||
| Most modern unix distributions (and cygwin) come with a version of zlib | ||
| already installed or available to install as a package. | ||
|
|
||
| - For developers on most other platforms, you will have to build | ||
| zlib from source and install it yourself. For your convenience a | ||
| tar ball of the zlib source is included with the simgear source | ||
| distribution. Untar the zlib source, and follow the included | ||
| build and installation instructions. | ||
|
|
||
| Once zlib is installed you can return to configuring and building | ||
| Simgear. | ||

|
||
| zlib 1.1.4 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 [email protected]). 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 <[email protected]>, or to | ||
| Gilles Vollant <[email protected]> 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 <[email protected]> wrote an article about zlib for the Jan. 1997 | ||
| issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal; a copy of the article is available in | ||

|
|
||
| The changes made in version 1.1.4 are documented in the file ChangeLog. | ||
| The only changes made since 1.1.3 are bug corrections: | ||
|
|
||
| - ZFREE was repeated on same allocation on some error conditions. | ||
| This creates a security problem described in | ||
| http://www.zlib.org/advisory-2002-03-11.txt | ||
| - Returned incorrect error (Z_MEM_ERROR) on some invalid data | ||
| - Avoid accesses before window for invalid distances with inflate window | ||
| less than 32K. | ||
| - force windowBits > 8 to avoid a bug in the encoder for a window size | ||
| of 256 bytes. (A complete fix will be available in 1.1.5). | ||
|
|
||
| The beta version 1.1.5beta includes many more changes. A new official | ||
| version 1.1.5 will be released as soon as extensive testing has been | ||
| completed on it. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| Unsupported third party contributions are provided in directory "contrib". | ||
|
|
||
| A Java implementation of zlib is available in the Java Development Kit | ||
| http://www.javasoft.com/products/JDK/1.1/docs/api/Package-java.util.zip.html | ||
| See the zlib home page http://www.zlib.org for details. | ||
|
|
||
| A Perl interface to zlib written by Paul Marquess <[email protected]> | ||
| 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 <[email protected]> | ||
| 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 <[email protected]> | ||
| is availlable at http://www.westend.com/~kupries/doc/trf/man/man.html | ||
|
|
||
| An experimental package to read and write files in .zip format, | ||
| written on top of zlib by Gilles Vollant <[email protected]>, is | ||
| available at http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/unzip.html | ||
| and also in the contrib/minizip directory of zlib. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| Notes for some targets: | ||
|
|
||
| - To build a Windows DLL version, include in a DLL project zlib.def, zlib.rc | ||
| and all .c files except example.c and minigzip.c; compile with -DZLIB_DLL | ||
| The zlib DLL support was initially done by Alessandro Iacopetti and is | ||
| now maintained by Gilles Vollant <[email protected]>. Check the zlib DLL | ||
| home page at http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll | ||
|
|
||
| From Visual Basic, you can call the DLL functions which do not take | ||
| a structure as argument: compress, uncompress and all gz* functions. | ||
| See contrib/visual-basic.txt for more information, or get | ||
| http://www.tcfb.com/dowseware/cmp-z-it.zip | ||
|
|
||
| - 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 Turbo C the small model is supported only with reduced performance to | ||
| avoid any far allocation; it was tested with -DMAX_WBITS=11 -DMAX_MEM_LEVEL=3 | ||
|
|
||
| - For PalmOs, see http://www.cs.uit.no/~perm/PASTA/pilot/software.html | ||
