zlib
- Python wrapper for the zlib compression library. Requires
- http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/zlib133dll.zip
- and
- ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/src/zlib133.zip
- Unpack the former into dist\zlib113dll.
- Uppack the latter into dist\zlib113.
+ NOTE: This procedure is new (& simpler, & safer) for 2.1a2.
+ Python wrapper for the zlib compression library. Get the source code
+ for version 1.1.3 from a convenient mirror at:
+ http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/
+ Unpack into dist\zlib-1.1.3.
+ A custom pre-link step in the zlib project settings should manage to
+ build zlib-1.1.3\zlib.lib by magic before zlib.pyd (or zlib_d.pyd) is
+ linked in PCbuild\.
+ However, the zlib project is not smart enough to remove anything under
+ zlib-1.1.3\ when you do a clean, so if you want to rebuild zlib.lib
+ you need to clean up zlib-1.1.3\ by hand.
