如何在Visual Studio 2017中使用zlib库？

Question

I want to use the zlib library in my c++ project. So, I have downloaded zlib library( zlib_1_2_8_msvc2015_64.zip ). Then, I have created zlib folder under "C:\\Program Files\\Zlib" . Then, Extract zlib_1_2_8_msvc2015_64.zip file into "C:\\Program Files\\Zlib" .

After that, I have opened visual studio 2017 and goes to property => C/C++ => general => additional include directories and added that path : "C:\\Program Files\\Zlib\\msvc2015_64" .

After that, I have added #include <zlib.h> header file in my project. but, not working.

So, How to use zlib library in visual studio 2017?

Answer 1

For static library installation , include the zlibstatic.lib and directories in the linker additional libraries and directories. For dynamic library , include the zlib.lib in the linker and copy the zlib.dll to the project output directory.

Another option is to install vcpkg ( MS packager to install windows based open source projects) and use powershell command like so .\\vcpkg install zlib:x64-windows-static . The zlib can be auto integrated to your project using .\\vcpkg integrate install

Answer 2

You have specified where to find the header files.

You also need to find which library to bind and where to find it.

For Visual Studio 2012:

In linker section -> General -> additional library directories, you can specify the path where the library resides

In linker section -> Input -> additional dependancy , you can specify the actual lib name to bind
