Do you need to define zlib winapi for quazip?


Asked by Aniyah Preston on Dec 14, 2021 FAQ



Also note that you may or may not need to define ZLIB_WINAPI (qmake DEFINES+=ZLIB_WINAPI) when linking to zlib on Windows, depending on how zlib was built (generally, if using zlibwapi.dll, this define is needed). To install compiled library: By default, QuaZIP compiles as a DLL/SO, but you have other options:
Thereof,
For example: (note abscence of "-I" before the include path and the presence of "-L" before the lib path) Also note that you may or may not need to define ZLIB_WINAPI (qmake DEFINES+=ZLIB_WINAPI) when linking to zlib on Windows, depending on how zlib was built (generally, if using zlibwapi.dll, this define is needed).
In addition, If you want to use the zlib functions in a Qt program, you only have to include zlib.h which is in src/3rdparty/zlib. See e.g. the implementation of QByteArray in src/corelib/tools. If you want to use quazip, just add the library to your project. It is based on the Qt libraries.
Also Know,
Technically speaking, QuaZIP is a simple C++ wrapper around Minizip. Or you could call it an implementation of the Adapter pattern. With QuaZIP, both ZIP files and files inside ZIP archives can be accessed with QIODevice API.
Indeed,
The gzip format was designed for single- file compression on file systems, has a larger header than zlib to maintain directory information, and uses a different, slower check method than zlib . The library does not install any signal handler.
