[Zlib-devel] Fwd: mingw cross-compilation patches

[Maarten Bosmans]

Hi list,

>From the OpenSUSE BuildService windows:mingw project, we have some
patches against zlib 1.2.5
https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=mingw32-zlib&project=windows%3Amingw%3Awin32

Attached are some patches against 1.2.5, but I think that some parts
(or similar patches) have already been proposed by others and perhaps
incorporated in the zlib source code. Unfortunately there doesn't seem
to be a public source code repository where I can check the latest
development status to see which patches are still worthy of being
submitted.

zlib-1.2.5-implib.patch
Change the name of the linking library to the more standard libz.dll.a

zlib-1.2.5-nostrip.patch
Don't strip as the last step in building the shared library. It should
be possible to make an unstripped library. Perhaps instead of
removing, the strip command should be moved to a new rule, like make
strip?

zlib-1.2.5-win32-largefile.patch
Always add large file support for windows. Please credit Tor Lillqvist
(tlillqvist at novell.com) for this patch.

zlib-1.2.5-zlib_internal.patch
Please credit Tor Lillqvist (tlillqvist at novell.com) for this patch.
