- ZLIB version 1.2.11 for OS/400 installation instructions
-
-1) Download and unpack the zlib tarball to some IFS directory.
- (i.e.: /path/to/the/zlib/ifs/source/directory)
-
- If the installed IFS command suppors gzip format, this is straightforward,
-else you have to unpack first to some directory on a system supporting it,
-then move the whole directory to the IFS via the network (via SMB or FTP).
-
-2) Edit the configuration parameters in the compilation script.
-
- EDTF STMF('/path/to/the/zlib/ifs/source/directory/os400/make.sh')
-
-Tune the parameters according to your needs if not matching the defaults.
-Save the file and exit after edition.
-
-3) Enter qshell, then work in the zlib OS/400 specific directory.
-
- QSH
- cd /path/to/the/zlib/ifs/source/directory/os400
-
-4) Compile and install
-
- sh make.sh
-
-The script will:
-- create the libraries, objects and IFS directories for the zlib environment,
-- compile all modules,
-- create a service program,
-- create a static and a dynamic binding directory,
-- install header files for C/C++ and for ILE/RPG, both for compilation in
- DB2 and IFS environments.
-
-That's all.
-
-
-Notes: For OS/400 ILE RPG programmers, a /copy member defining the ZLIB
- API prototypes for ILE RPG can be found in ZLIB/H(ZLIB.INC).
- In the ILE environment, the same definitions are available from
- file zlib.inc located in the same IFS include directory as the
- C/C++ header files.
- Please read comments in this member for more information.
-
- Remember that most foreign textual data are ASCII coded: this
- implementation does not handle conversion from/to ASCII, so
- text data code conversions must be done explicitely.
-
- Mainly for the reason above, always open zipped files in binary mode.
