HowtoBuildLibzip

Building libzip and zlib on Windows for XTrackCAD

• Get the source code from https://github.com/madler/zlib/releases/tag/v1.3.1 and https://libzip.org/download/
  Note The source code for libzip is only available in tar.gz or tar.xz format. You will need a program like 7Zip to open these.
• Building zlib in default configuration eg. Debug

cd zlibsourcedir
mkdir build
mkdir install
cd build
set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<zlibsourcedir>\install
cmake ..
cmake --build . -t zlibstatic
cmake --install . --config Debug

• For release configuration use

cmake --build . -t zlibstatic --config Release
cmake --install . --config Release

• Copy the contents of the install directory to xtcextern\<architecture>\zlib
• Building libzip in the same command line as used above

cd libzipsourcedir
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
cmake --build . --config Debug

• Copy the contents of the install directory to xtcextern\<architecture>\libzip
