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)



a) zlib (current version: 1.2.8)

* put zlib to $ZR\..\zlib

* get vc6 shell

cd $ZR\..\zlib

nmake -f win32\Makefile.msc

-> generates zlib.lib, zlib1.dll

-> generates $ZR\..\lpng\libpng.lib

b) lpng (current version: 1.6.20)

* put libpng to $ZR/../lpng

cd $ZR\..\lpng

nmake -f scripts\makefile.vcwin32

-> generates $ZR\..\lpng\libpng.lib

c) open the files in this folder with the msvc6 gui and compile
