Hi all,

Ruby/zlib version 0.6.0 is out.

http://www.blue.sky.or.jp/atelier/ruby/ruby-zlib-0.6.0.tar.gz

(Changes since 0.5.1)

  • ready for Ruby-1.8.

  • fixed compilation probrem in Windows. (Thanks to Nobuyoshi Nakada)

  • Zlib::GzipFile.new takes no block. Use Zlib::GzipFile.wrap instead
    of Zlib::GzipFile.new with a block.

  • Zlib::GzipFile.close takes no argument. Use Zlib::GzipFile#finish
    instead of Zlib::GzipFile#close(true).

  • Zlib.version is renamed to Zlib.zlib_version.
    Zlib::VERSION is renamed to Zlib::ZLIB_VERSION.
    Zlib::VERSION now indicates the version of Ruby/zlib.

  • removed obsoleted classes for backward compatibility for 0.4 or
    earlier.

  • fixed some bugs.

  • and so on…

I tried installing it on Windows XP using ruby 1.6.8 (2002-12-24)
[i586-mswin32]

C:\ZLIB>ruby extconf.rb
checking for deflateReset() in -lz… no
checking for deflateReset() in -llibz… no
checking for deflateReset() in -lzlib… no

To me, this means that the compiler is not finding z.lib, libz.lib and
zlib.lib …correct ?
Where can I find these .libs ?

TIA,
