zlib/contrib/dotzlib

This directory contains a .Net wrapper class library for the ZLib1.dll



The wrapper includes support for inflating/deflating memory buffers,

.Net streaming wrappers for the gz streams part of zlib, and wrappers

for the checksum parts of zlib. See DotZLib/UnitTests.cs for examples.

Unit tests:

-----------

The file DotZLib/UnitTests.cs contains unit tests for use with NUnit 2.1 or higher.

To include unit tests in the build, define nunit before building.





Build instructions:

-------------------



1. Using Visual Studio.Net 2003:

   Open DotZLib.sln in VS.Net and build from there. Output file (DotZLib.dll)

   will be found ./DotZLib/bin/release or ./DotZLib/bin/debug, depending on

   you are building the release or debug version of the library. Check

   DotZLib/UnitTests.cs for instructions on how to include unit tests in the

   build.



2. Using NAnt:

   Open a command prompt with access to the build environment and run nant

   in the same directory as the DotZLib.build file.

   You can define 2 properties on the nant command-line to control the build:

   debug={true|false} to toggle between release/debug builds (default=true).

   nunit={true|false} to include or exclude unit tests (default=true).

   Also the target clean will remove binaries.

   Output file (DotZLib.dll) will be found in either ./DotZLib/bin/release

   or ./DotZLib/bin/debug, depending on whether you are building the release

   or debug version of the library.



   Examples:

     nant -D:debug=false -D:nunit=false

       will build a release mode version of the library without unit tests.

     nant

       will build a debug version of the library with unit tests

     nant clean

       will remove all previously built files.
