Doh, thanks.
I found that ZLIB_DLL needs to be defined such that the project becomes.
lib zlib
:
[ glob ../../sdk/zlib/*.c ]
:
<link>shared:<define>ZLIB_DLL
:
:
<include>../../sdk/zlib
;
There is a similar issue with libpng but there appears to be a bug in
their config file in the current version which prevents vc8 from
defining their dll export correctly. Now I just have to remember my SF
login so I can post a bug report to them :)
