| 20 | How to build ZLib.Ada under GNAT
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | You should have the ZLib library already build on your computer, before
|
|---|
| 23 | building ZLib.Ada. Make the directory of ZLib.Ada sources current and
|
|---|
| 24 | issue the command:
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | gnatmake test -largs -L<directory where libz.a is> -lz
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | Or use the GNAT project file build for GNAT 3.15 or later:
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | gnatmake -Pzlib.gpr -L<directory where libz.a is>
