how to build with msvc toolchain?

[Eunsolfs]

hello,can you add a CMake MakeFile ,so we can built this program easily.Absolutely,this program is so great!
thank you

[Lecrapouille]

@Eunsolfs Yes I have to deal with it ! I hate CMake (no offense ^^) and I'm not a Windows user. In the previous repo, almost issues concerned CMake for Windows lol That is why I preferred using my Makefile.

What native Windows techno can be used instead for compiling ? We can add a Visual Studio file ?

As quick workaround, you can compile directly:

• go to zipper/external and see download-external-libs.sh and compile-external-libs.sh for downloading and compile these libs (to be adapated for Windows ?)
• Adapt the following line for Windows:

cd zipper
g++ --std=c++11 -fPIC -shared -Iinclude -Isrc -I. src/utils/*.cpp src/*.cpp -o libzipper.so external/minizip/build/libminizip.a external/minizip/build/libaes.a external/zlib-ng/build/libz.a

(not verified).

You can provide a pull request, this will help me :)

thank you for your help, if i work out, I will upload the entire compile script

Any update?

谢谢你的帮助，如果我解决了，我会上传整个编译脚本

任何更新？

I have to say, I put a lot of effort into making this project a zipper VS project, I used minizip/1.2.13 (this library depends on bzip2/1.0.8
zlib/1.2.13), after compiling minizip/1.2.13, add it to my zipper project, and then start to fix the error in the code, but I can't find the fill_memory_filefunc and the structure ourmemory_t, I checked the information and found that the above related code has been in In minizip, the ioapi_mem.h file has been removed. So I can't fix the error.

I went back and checked the files of the zipper project again, and found that the author requested to use the minizip version of his fork, but I don't know the detailed version of the fork's minizip, nor can I know what version of the library the project depends on. So I'm stuck.

@Eunsolfs @demonstan I tried to add CI for Windows. I made a workaround to find zlib.h but I still have an error with my Makefile I dunno where the error is not very explicit

[Eunsolfs]

In the end, I successfully made this project into a VS project, and the compilation passed

my zipper fork :https://github.com/Eunsolfs/zipper.git

Pull the code to the local through git, open it with VS2022 and compile it

If you use other vs versions, you need to manually modify the relevant values in zipper.vcxproj / zipper.sln with an editor like vscode

[Eunsolfs]

The secret of successful compilation is that zipper needs to use a specific version of minizip (https://github.com/Lecrapouille/minizip). The author of zipper also mentioned it in ReadMe, but I didn't read it carefully before...

Versions of other libraries in the external folder:
zlib v1.2.13
zlib-ng v2.0.6

But I don't seem to find traces of using zlib-ng in the source code of zipper. The reason why I added it is because the author of zipper described that zlib-ng needs to be downloaded and compiled in zipper/external/download-external-libs.sh
