Linking against liblzma

Creating an import library for MSVC / Visual Studio

||||||
MinGW
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you use MinGW, linking against liblzma.dll or liblzma.a should
|
|
||||||
be straightforward. You don't need an import library to link
|
|
||||||
against liblzma.dll, and for static linking, you don't need to
|
|
||||||
worry about the LZMA_API_STATIC macro.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note that the MinGW distribution includes liblzma. If you are
|
|
||||||
building packages that will be part of the MinGW distribution, you
|
|
||||||
probably should use the version of liblzma shipped in MinGW instead
|
|
||||||
of this package.

|
||||||
If you need to link statically against liblzma, you should build
|
|
||||||
liblzma with MSVC 2013 update 2 or later. Alternatively, if having
|
|
||||||
a decompressor is enough, consider using XZ Embedded or LZMA SDK.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When you plan to link against static liblzma, you need to tell
|
|
||||||
lzma.h to not use __declspec(dllimport) by defining the macro
|
|
||||||
LZMA_API_STATIC. You can do it either in the C/C++ code
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#define LZMA_API_STATIC
|
|
||||||
#include <lzma.h>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
or by adding it to compiler options.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Other compilers
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you are using some other compiler, see its documentation how to
|
|
||||||
create an import library (if it is needed). If it is simple, I
|
|
||||||
might consider including the instructions here.
