SDL and zziplib

SDL Development

Hi

I’m trying to create a archive file to store my images and sounds in. I am
trying to follow the sdl rwops tutorial found here:

http://www.kekkai.org/roger/sdl/rwops/rwops.html

It mentions that you need to use the zziplib library. This is where I am
running into problems. I can compile zlib support into my application, but
for the life of me, I can’t get zziplib working.

http://zziplib.sourceforge.net/

Has anyone compiled zziplib into a win32 *.lib file so I can link it into my
project. I have linux librarys, but can’t get it to compile on win32 (which
is my main development platform).

Once that is done, then I can use sdl rwops to read the file from memory,
straight out of the archive file.

Many thanks.

I am sorry if this is a blocking point here - it’s just that I do not use
win32 as my development platform, and do not own a windows compiler either.
I use a cross gcc to create all my win32 programs, but of course these
do not create a *.lib to be used for VC and similar compilers (I guess
you wanted that). I did check with the free borland 5.5 some time ago
that it will however build with the other windows compiler too, I’ll
attach the makefile. If someone on this list would be willing to maintain
a .lib file, I’d be very pleased to put it onto zziplib.sf.net for
download, so that all can benefit from it.

good luck, Guido

zziplib - sdl rwops
