1.2.7. Windows
Building XZ Utils on Windows is supported under the following
environments:
If it is enough to build liblzma (no command line tools):
- There is experimental CMake support. As it is, it should be
good enough to build static liblzma with Visual Studio.
Building liblzma.dll might work too (if it doesn't, it should
be fixed). The CMake support may work with MinGW or MinGW-w64.
Read the comment in the beginning of CMakeLists.txt before
running CMake!
- There are Visual Studio project files under the "windows"
directory. See windows/INSTALL-MSVC.txt. In the future the
project files will be removed when CMake support is good
enough. Thus, please test the CMake version and help fix
possible issues.
To build also the command line tools:
- MinGW-w64 + MSYS (32-bit and 64-bit x86): This is used
for building the official binary packages for Windows.

It may be possible to build liblzma with other toolchains too, but
that will probably require writing a separate makefile. Building
the command line tools with non-GNU toolchains will be harder than

1.2.8. DOS
There is an experimental Makefile in the "dos" directory to build
XZ Utils on DOS using DJGPP. Support for long file names (LFN) is
needed. See dos/README for more information.
There is a Makefile in the "dos" directory to build XZ Utils on
DOS using DJGPP. Support for long file names (LFN) is needed at
build time but the resulting xz.exe works without LFN support too.
See dos/INSTALL.txt and dos/README.txt for more information.
GNU Autotools based build hasn't been tried on DOS. If you try, I
would like to hear if it worked.
1.2.9. z/OS
To build XZ Utils on z/OS UNIX System Services using xlc, pass
these options to the configure script: CC='xlc -qhaltonmsg=CCN3296'
CPPFLAS='-D_UNIX03_THREADS -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600'. The first makes
xlc throw an error if a header file is missing, which is required
to make the tests in configure work. The CPPFLAGS are needed to
get pthread support (some other CPPFLAGS may work too; if there
are problems, try -D_UNIX95_THREADS instead of -D_UNIX03_THREADS).
test_scripts.sh in "make check" will fail even if the scripts
actually work because the test data includes compressed files
with US-ASCII text.
No other tests should fail. If test_files.sh fails, check that
the included .xz test files weren't affected by EBCDIC conversion.
XZ Utils doesn't have code to detect the amount of physical RAM and
number of CPU cores on z/OS.
