dll\liblz4.dll : The DLL of LZ4 librarydll\liblz4.lib : The import library of LZ4 libraryinclude\ : Header files required with LZ4 libraryfullbench\ : The example of usage of LZ4 librarystatic\liblz4_static.lib : The static LZ4 libraryUse make to build fullbench-dll and fullbench-lib. fullbench-dll uses a dynamic LZ4 library from the dll directory. fullbench-lib uses a static LZ4 library from the lib directory.
The header files from include\ and the import library dll\liblz4.lib are required to compile a project using gcc/MinGW. The import library has to be added to linking options. It means that if a project that uses LZ4 consists of a single test-dll.c file it should be compiled with “liblz4.lib”. For example:
gcc $(CFLAGS) -Iinclude/ test-dll.c -o test-dll dll\liblz4.lib
The compiled executable will require LZ4 DLL which is available at dll\liblz4.dll.
Open fullbench\fullbench-dll.sln to compile fullbench-dll that uses a dynamic LZ4 library from the dll directory. The solution works with Visual C++ 2010 or newer. When one will open the solution with Visual C++ newer than 2010 then the solution will upgraded to the current version.
The header files from include\ and the import library dll\liblz4.lib are required to compile a project using Visual C++.
Additional Include Directories that can be found in project properties C/C++ then General.Additional Dependencies that can be found in project properties Linker then Input. If one will provide only the name liblz4.lib without a full path to the library the directory has to be added to Linker\General\Additional Library Directories.The compiled executable will require LZ4 DLL which is available at dll\liblz4.dll.
