PROJECT
|
|
The zziplib provides read access to zipped files in a zip-archive,
|
|
using compression based solely on free algorithms provided by zlib.
|
|
It also provides a functionality to overlay the archive filesystem
|
|
with the filesystem of the operating system environment.
|
|
|
|
AUTHOR
|
|
The project was originally written by Tomi Ollila, later largely
|
|
rewritten by Guido Draheim, and extended with contributions in
|
|
the years to follow. Guido Draheim <guidod@gmx.de> holds the full
|
|
copyright to the zziplib sources.
|
|
|
|
COPYING
|
|
The zziplib may be used freely under the restrictions of the
|
|
GNU Lesser General Public License version 2 or later. Alternativly
|
|
the Mozilla Public license can be chosen. The sources are under
|
|
a dual license, as long as the MPL hint is not removed, the modified
|
|
files will be again under a dual license for the final recipient.
|
|
|
|
LICENSING
|
|
If you can not use a dynalinked library according to LGPL rules,
|
|
then look at docs/copying.htm for a few hints. Generally the LGPL
|
|
has a way for staticlinking as well as the MPL has a way. Anyway,
|
|
special (paid) licenses can be negotiated with the copyright holder.
|
|
|
|
HOMEPAGE
|
|
The zziplib project is hosted at SourceForge, the complete
|
|
documentation can be found at http://zziplib.sf.net - the
|
|
SourceForge servers are also used to distribute the sources
|
|
of the zziplib project. Releases are announced via the
|
|
freshmeat services on http://freshmeat.net/projects/zziplib
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION
|
|
The zziplib sources are built with gnu autotools and they should
|
|
be easy to install on unixish systems via the usual sequence of
|
|
`configure && make && make check && make install`. Many distributors
|
|
ship prebuilt packages e.g. in rpm format. Additionally there are
|
|
MSVC project files shipped along for usage with the Microsoft
|
|
VisualC series of compilers. There should be no problem either
|
|
when crosscompiling the zziplib for a third host platform.
|
|
|
|
MAINTAINANCE
|
|
The zziplib library is intentionally a lightweight interface to
|
|
zip files. The author take patches but please consider to put
|
|
complex extensions into separate modules rather than implanting them
|
|
right into the core of the library engine. All Patches and Bug Reports
|
|
should be sent to Guido Draheim <guidod@gmx.de>.
