If your application needs that 60 1.1 christos particular build of zlib.dll, you can rename zlibwapi.dll to zlib.dll. 61 1.1 christos 62 1.1 christos - The new DLL was renamed because there exist several incompatible 63 1.1 christos versions of zlib.dll on the Internet. 64 1.1 christos 65 1.1 christos - There is also an official DLL build of zlib, named zlib1.dll. This one 66 1.1 christos is exporting the functions using the CDECL convention. See the file 67 1.1 christos win32\DLL_FAQ.txt found in this zlib distribution. 68 1.1 christos 69 1.1 christos - There used to be a ZLIB_DLL macro in zlib 1.1.x, but now this symbol 70 1.1 christos has a slightly different effect. To avoid compatibility problems, do 71 1.1 christos not define it here. 72 1.1 christos 73 1.1 christos 74 1.1 christos Gilles Vollant 75 1.1 christos info (a] winimage.com 76 1.1.1.1.76.1 pgoyette 77 1.1.1.1.76.1 pgoyette Visual Studio 2013 and 2015 Projects from Sean Hunt 78 1.1.1.1.76.1 pgoyette seandhunt_7 (a] yahoo.com 79
