Cygwin compiled zlib source code

This article introduces the method of compiling zlib source code under Cygwin, although this process is simple, there are still some places to be aware of.

Zlib Source:

http://www.zlib.net/

After the download, the decompression will generate zlib-1.2.8 this folder.

1. Compile the steps:

• First, create a folder and use the Configure command to specify the compilation results to this folder.
• Second, make
• Finally, make install

Of course, you can also merge the last two steps into make & makes install

2. In order to deepen the impression, the following is the practice process:

The resulting file can be seen in the mylibs.

Note :
1. In this example, the last generated is the ZLIB.A static library, when referenced in the makefile, to write the path of this static library, otherwise, such as the Zlib.h header can not find errors.
2. In Mylibs's include, there is a header file Zlib.h, which can be referenced by an external program.
