creating "zint.dll" compatible with Windows XP (see ticket #339) win32: rename README and HOWTO files to uppercase and update "win32\README.txt" general: suppress some VC6 warnings README.bsd: update
Harald Oehlmann 2025-01-27 Why to use VC6 ? It avoids DLL Hell as the runtime is present on all Windows Versions since XP. I compile on Windows 10 64 bit. How to compile: $ZR is the zint root folder (this file is in $ZR\win32\zint_cmdline_vc6) * get vc6 shell if not available in the Start Menu, open a Command Prompt and run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\VCVARS32.BAT" a) zlib (current version: 1.3.1) * put zlib to $ZR\..\zlib cd $ZR\..\zlib nmake -f win32\Makefile.msc -> generates zlib.lib, zlib1.dll b) lpng (current version: 1.6.46) * put libpng to $ZR\..\lpng cd $ZR\..\lpng nmake -f scripts\makefile.vcwin32 -> generates $ZR\..\lpng\libpng.lib c) open zint_cmdline_vc6.dsw in this folder with the msvc6 gui and compile
