Compression problems, zlib?

Hi.
I've been googling for long time already, and I still dont know how to use zlib. Could someone just give exact instructions what I have to do to use it? (MS Visual C++ 2010 on Win7 32). Please not the DLL version. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: In case someone finds this with google, check the comments!

+2 A:

The website has a usage example.

Well, thats how to use the Code, but I'm having probs with getting the lib somehow. I've tried compiling it but it throws linker errors.

... Huh? http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zlib.htm

Create static zlib libraries and add it in project

A by-the-way-question: does anyone know good examples of gzipping stuff (char* - arrays) with zlib ?

zlib doesn't do gzip, it does deflate.

zlib does, really. I've solved my problem some other way, anyway :) Thank you guys. Is it possible to accept an answer? I'd like the #2 one :3

I don't know it this will help but my coworker found this the other day when we were looking for a zip library. Looks pretty easy to use (there's an exemple at the end).

You still need to have the external library though.
