A Perl interface to zlib written by Paul Marquess <[e-mail]> 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 <[e-mail]> 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 <[e-mail]> is
availlable at http://www.oche.de/~akupries/soft/trf/trf_zip.html
An experimental package to read and write files in .zip format, written on top
of zlib by Gilles Vollant <[e-mail]>, is available in the
contrib/minizip directory of zlib.
Notes for some targets:
- For Windows DLL versions, please see win32/DLL_FAQ.txt
- 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 PalmOs, see http://palmzlib.sourceforge.net/
- When building a shared, i.e. dynamic library on Mac OS X, the library must be
installed before testing (do "make install" before "make test"), since the
library location is specified in the library.
Acknowledgments:
The deflate format used by zlib was defined by Phil Katz. The deflate
and zlib specifications were written by L. Peter Deutsch. Thanks to all the
people who reported problems and suggested various improvements in zlib;
they are too numerous to cite here.
