Examples of zlib usage - are in the files example.c and minigzip.c. - - -6) Why don't you use GNU autoconf, libtool, etc...? - - Because we would like to keep zlib as a very small and simple package. - zlib is rather portable and doesn't need much configuration. - - -7) There is 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 us the corresponding source at zlib@quest.jpl.nasa.gov - Do not send multi-megabyte data files without prior agreement. - - -8) I get "undefined reference to gzputc" - - If "make test" produces something like - example.o(.text+0x174): - check that you don't have old files libz.* in /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib - or /usr/X11R6/lib. Remove old versions then do "make install". - |
