To : min...@li... To : cy...@cy... 7-Zip an application made by Igor Pavlov ( http://7-zip.org/ ) gives a very high compression ratio. Mainy users wish it should also be available in Linux. see http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=758481&forum_id=45797 But as Igor is not comfortable with gcc. So it is difficult for him to port. 7-Zip also use many non standard function from MS-VC++ So a better way to port it to Linux will be to first port it Cygwin or MinGW. I wish there is somebody to port this.

Hello, I use 7-Zip alot, and would also be very interested in a port for gcc. 7-Zip's best feature is its output compressed file is much smaller than when you use any other product (like Winzip or Pkzip). 7-Zip's worst feature is that it is agonizingly slow, as much as 10 = times slower than Winzip. Perhaps if we could compile it with "g++ -O3" maximum optimization option, we could speed up the exe file. - Bill -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Underwood [mailto:nem...@ic...] Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 12:31 AM To: min...@li...

Fill free to work on this. It is my opinion that the best list for a discussion of a port would be a 7-zip list as you will need to include the maintainer of 7-zip in any patches anyway. I will not stop you from using MinGW, though. Let me know when autoconfiguration is complete and I will see that it is hosted for download on MinGW. Earnie.

I will not stop you from even though one may be frustrated, it is easy to train a *nix/gcc guy to work on VC++ but on the other hand, to train a VC++ guy on *nix/gcc it is like starting from beginning. Even it was difficult for us to convince Igor (http://7-Zip.org author) the necessity of non GUI option, input/output redirection, piping etc. Regarding need for exchanging patch, I dont know whether Igor use cvs, diff, ssh etc. Choice of platform, he believes he will have more users in windows than on *nix, and he was also trained in VC++ So there is need for us to convince him, gcc is better than VC++. Hence should show our support and interest in porting 7-zip, As answer to a question once he even wrote he will be happy to cooperate, if somebody from openoffice.org contact him. we should try to attract more people into MinGW/Cygwin/gnu/*nix rather than scaring people away. if you ask how to do XYZ of VC++ in gcc Igor dont have clue. So a better place to clear that will be MinGW and/or Cygwin list remember developing a gnu port of 7-zip is a need for us, but not a need for him, he is happy with VC++ I dont why Earnie is very much against 7-zip. As new member is there something I miss? Regarding speed, Now Igor is concentrating on compression ratio > using MinGW, though.

You are not asking about some technical problem you have with MinGW. You are trying to convince people that certain application is very important and *someone* *else* should port it.

Rich Simoes, Oscar Fuentes, I accept all those you told. But I cant see anything bad in my intension. I have DSL, dont care about internet traffic Half of my harddisk still free, so I dont care disk space now I maintain http://quicktools.mozdev.org/fbnightly/ and http://quicktools.mozdev.org/tbnightly/ because I care about people on Dialup (most of whom even i dont know) By posting here atleast I found Ryan & Bill intersted in it. And Ryan even tried to port it. So "we" means atleast 2 other people already in this list. > Since 7-zip is already a native Windows application and > has a command line interface, why does everyone think > we need a Mingw port?

He's not. The original post is off topic because the poster wants a UNIX/LINUX port of 7-zip. The request should go through the author of 7-zip. Instead, the poster is trying to get someone else to port it to Mingw first in the belief the LINUX port will be trivial from there. Rich |

I doubt gcc would produce a faster binary, for instance. And it seems unlikely that a gcc binary would compress better.

Do you seek compiler independence? platform independence? or both? It sounds like those goals are not important to the author. But if you achieve them, then your code will work with any good compiler--yet what does that have to do with gcc or MinGW? |

Gone thru the archives, found some mails in this regards from Ioannis Vranos and Cristian Adam, and now I understood the issue. Thanks for pointing me. When I posted I was totally unaware of it. And I dont think any new/feature member should be blamed for that issue. But instead of making that as a big issue then members of this list could have asked Ioannis Vranos to port 7-Zip to compile in gcc I want share a very good advice from one of my friend and classmate "Dont make anybody enemy, you dont know whether he will be a great help to you tomorrow!!!" > I'm not sure what you mean by a "gnu port".

Hello, I would be interested in seeing a MinGW port of 7-Zip as well. I looked at porting it before, but it used so many MS-VC++ specific stuff, that it seems that it would be very time consuming to iron out. However, it is great that the author has released the source code under a free license. I wonder if it would be possible to create a compatibility preprocessor that would filter MS-VC crap out of source files and/or transmogrify it to GNU/ANSI compliant stuff. It sucks that there are some open source projects like this that are potentially useful, but coded only for MS's compiler. If it were ported to MinGW, that would be one half of the battle in getting it ported to Cygwin, GNU, or BSD (the other problem would be the usage of Win API) Ryan On Thu, Aug 28, 2003 at 05:37:16PM +0100, Biju G C wrote: > I am writing this to clear my name. > I wont have written any more mail if nobody have replied for my mail. > > > 1.

To : min...@li... To : cy...@cy... 7-Zip an application made by Igor Pavlov ( http://7-zip.org/ )=20 gives a very high compression ratio. Mainy users wish it should also be available in Linux. see = http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=3D758481&forum_id=3D4579= 7=20 But as Igor is not comfortable with gcc. So it is difficult for him to = port. 7-Zip also use many non standard function from MS-VC++ So a better way to port it to Linux will be to first port it Cygwin or = MinGW. I wish there is somebody to port this. As per Igor Standalone command line version in folder Project\archiver\bundle\Alone\ =20 will be easy to port You can get source code at http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/=20 or get help from Igor at his emailid su...@7-... ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

This is an OFF-TOPIC advertisement resembling SPAM. Don't send a post such as this to the mingw-users list. I'm not against 7zip. I am against these advertisements. This is not the first warning about such messages with the 7zip product. Earnie.

Earnie, bijumaillist (at) yahoo is my Email ID and the post on 2003-08-28 07:13 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3035727&forum_id=5119 is also mine. but the one on 2003-09-15 02:40 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3130307&forum_id=5119 is not mine. I think somebody faked my email-id. To avoid any more use of my id I will unsubscribe from mingw-users list cheers Biju --- Earnie Boyd <ea...@us...> wrote: > This is an OFF-TOPIC advertisement resembling SPAM.

Thanks for the reply Biju. I see you're using yahoo.com. With the recent Sobig virus and Yahoo's slow response to it, I've changed my list addresses as well (at least most of them). I was truly affected by the DoS and was without good service from Yahoo for most of the past five weeks. Yahoo would disable my account due to it's size even though most of the size had been filtered to the trash. I'm currently using services from hotpop.com if you wish to take a look. Unfortunately, there is not much we can do with the faked headers as yet. The virus also sends to lists' administration software requests for subscribing and unsubscribing. I've several of those types of bogus requests from various lists, some I am subscribed to, others I'm not. Earnie.
