Q: 

Is There an Archiving Library Without Dependencies? (C/C++)

Hey, I'm looking for an archiving library that functions like GNU's tar, but without any dependencies. I need some sort of archiving format to manage resources in my game engine and am still iffy about rolling my own.

A: 

You mean for.. files? If yes I don't understand what's wrong with tar?

If you mean for your data structures (I see the question is tagged as C++) then try boost::serialization

Not for data structures, for resources.

So i don't understand what's wrong with tar?

Nothing is wrong with tar. I just need an implementation without any dependencies. Steven provided that, so thanks anyway.
