ZLIB version 1.2.3 for AS400 installation instructions

I) From an AS400 *SAVF file:

1) Unpacking archive to an AS400 save file

On the AS400:

_ Create the ZLIB AS400 library:

CRTLIB LIB(ZLIB) TYPE(PROD) TEXT('ZLIB compression API library')

_ Create a work save file, for example:

CRTSAVF FILE(ZLIB/ZLIBSAVF)

On a PC connected to the target AS400:

_ Unpack the save file image to a PC file "ZLIBSAVF"
_ Upload this file into the save file on the AS400, for example
using ftp in BINARY mode.


2) Populating the ZLIB AS400 source library

On the AS400:

_ Extract the saved objects into the ZLIB AS400 library using:

RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(ZLIB) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(ZLIB/ZLIBSAVF) RSTLIB(ZLIB)


3) Customize installation:

_ Edit CL member ZLIB/TOOLS(COMPILE) and change parameters if needed,
according to the comments.

_ Compile this member with:

CRTCLPGM PGM(ZLIB/COMPILE) SRCFILE(ZLIB/TOOLS) SRCMBR(COMPILE)


4) Compile and generate the service program:

_ This can now be done by executing:

CALL PGM(ZLIB/COMPILE)



II) From the original source distribution:

1) On the AS400, create the source library:

CRTLIB LIB(ZLIB) TYPE(PROD) TEXT('ZLIB compression API library')

2) Create the source files:

CRTSRCPF FILE(ZLIB/SOURCES) RCDLEN(112) TEXT('ZLIB library modules')
CRTSRCPF FILE(ZLIB/H) RCDLEN(112) TEXT('ZLIB library includes')
CRTSRCPF FILE(ZLIB/TOOLS) RCDLEN(112) TEXT('ZLIB library control utilities')

3) From the machine hosting the distribution files, upload them (with
FTP in text mode, for example) according to the following table:

Notes: For AS400 ILE RPG programmers, a /copy member defining the ZLIB
API prototypes for ILE RPG can be found in ZLIB/H(ZLIB.INC).
Please read comments in this member for more information.

Remember that most foreign textual data are ASCII coded: this
implementation does not handle conversion from/to ASCII, so
text data code conversions must be done explicitely.

Always open zipped files in binary mode.
