DLL can be created using MinGW+MSYS with the `make liblz4` command. This command creates `dll\liblz4.dll` and the import library `dll\liblz4.lib`. -To compile a project the import library has to be added to linking options. +The import library is only required with Visual C++. +The header files `lz4.h`, `lz4hc.h`, `lz4frame.h` and the dynamic library +`dll\liblz4.dll` are required to compile a project using gcc/MinGW. +The dynamic library has to be added to linking options. It means that if a project that uses LZ4 consists of a single `test-dll.c` file it should be compiled with "liblz4.lib". For example: ``` - gcc $(CFLAGS) test-dll.c -o test-dll liblz4.lib + gcc $(CFLAGS) -Iinclude/ test-dll.c -o test-dll dll\liblz4.dll ``` +The compiled executable will require LZ4 DLL which is available at `dll\liblz4.dll`. #### Miscellaneous |
