| 1 ZLib for Ada thick binding (ZLib.Ada) | |
| 2 Release 1.3 | |
| 3 | |
| 4 ZLib.Ada is a thick binding interface to the popular ZLib data | |
| 5 compression library, available at http://www.gzip.org/zlib/. | |
| 6 It provides Ada-style access to the ZLib C library. | |
| 7 | |
| 8 | |
| 9 Here are the main changes since ZLib.Ada 1.2: | |
| 10 | |
| 11 - Attension: ZLib.Read generic routine have a initialization requirement | |
| 12 for Read_Last parameter now. It is a bit incompartible with previous version, | |
| 13 but extends functionality, we could use new parameters Allow_Read_Some and | |
| 14 Flush now. | |
| 15 | |
| 16 - Added Is_Open routines to ZLib and ZLib.Streams packages. | |
| 17 | |
| 18 - Add pragma Assert to check Stream_Element is 8 bit. | |
| 19 | |
| 20 - Fix extraction to buffer with exact known decompressed size. Error reported by | |
| 21 Steve Sangwine. | |
| 22 | |
| 23 - Fix definition of ULong (changed to unsigned_long), fix regression on 64 bits | |
| 24 computers. Patch provided by Pascal Obry. | |
| 25 | |
| 26 - Add Status_Error exception definition. | |
| 27 | |
| 28 - Add pragma Assertion that Ada.Streams.Stream_Element size is 8 bit. | |

| 31 How to build ZLib.Ada under GNAT | |
| 32 | |
| 33 You should have the ZLib library already build on your computer, before | |
| 34 building ZLib.Ada. Make the directory of ZLib.Ada sources current and | |
| 35 issue the command: | |
| 36 | |
| 37 gnatmake test -largs -L<directory where libz.a is> -lz | |
| 38 | |
| 39 Or use the GNAT project file build for GNAT 3.15 or later: | |
| 40 | |
| 41 gnatmake -Pzlib.gpr -L<directory where libz.a is> | |
| 42 | |
| 43 | |
| 44 How to build ZLib.Ada under Aonix ObjectAda for Win32 7.2.2 | |
| 45 | |
| 46 1. Make a project with all *.ads and *.adb files from the distribution. | |
| 47 2. Build the libz.a library from the ZLib C sources. | |
| 48 3. Rename libz.a to z.lib. | |
| 49 4. Add the library z.lib to the project. | |
| 50 5. Add the libc.lib library from the ObjectAda distribution to the project. | |
| 51 6. Build the executable using test.adb as a main procedure. | |
| 52 | |
| 53 | |
| 54 How to use ZLib.Ada | |
| 55 | |
| 56 The source files test.adb and read.adb are small demo programs that show | |
| 57 the main functionality of ZLib.Ada. | |
| 58 | |
| 59 The routines from the package specifications are commented. | |
