zlib¶

A Massively Spiffy Yet Delicately Unobtrusive Compression Library.

Usage¶

To make this library available, run the following module command

module load libs/gcc/4.4.7/zlib/1.2.8

Installation notes¶

This section is primarily for administrators of the system.

It was built with gcc 4.4.7

#!/bin/bash

install_dir=/usr/local/packages6/libs/gcc/4.4.7/zlib/1.2.8

wget http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz
tar -xvzf ./zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz
cd zlib-1.2.8

mkdir -p $install_dir

./configure --prefix=$install_dir
make
make install

testing¶

The library was tested with make check. The results were

make check

hello world
zlib version 1.2.8 = 0x1280, compile flags = 0xa9
uncompress(): hello, hello!
gzread(): hello, hello!
gzgets() after gzseek:  hello!
inflate(): hello, hello!
large_inflate(): OK
after inflateSync(): hello, hello!
inflate with dictionary: hello, hello!
              *** zlib test OK ***
