Projects for various integrated development environments (IDE)

==============================================================



#### Included projects



The following projects are included with the lz4 distribution:

- `VS2010` - Visual Studio 2010 project (which also works well with Visual Studio 2012, 2013, 2015)





#### How to compile lz4 with Visual Studio



1. Install Visual Studio e.g. VS 2015 Community Edition (it's free).

2. Download the latest version of lz4 from https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases

3. Decompress ZIP archive.

4. Go to decompressed directory then to `visual` then `VS2010` and open `lz4.sln`

5. Visual Studio will ask about converting VS2010 project to VS2015 and you should agree.

6. Change `Debug` to `Release` and if you have 64-bit Windows change also `Win32` to `x64`.

7. Press F7 on keyboard or select `BUILD` from the menu bar and choose `Build Solution`.

8. If compilation will be fine a compiled executable will be in `visual\VS2010\bin\x64_Release\lz4.exe`





#### Projects available within lz4.sln



The Visual Studio solution file `lz4.sln` contains many projects that will be compiled to the

`visual\VS2010\bin\$(Platform)_$(Configuration)` directory. For example `lz4` set to `x64` and

`Release` will be compiled to `visual\VS2010\bin\x64_Release\lz4.exe`. The solution file contains the

following projects:



- `lz4` : Command Line Utility, supporting gzip-like arguments

- `datagen` : Synthetic and parametrable data generator, for tests

- `frametest` : Test tool that checks lz4frame integrity on target platform

- `fullbench`  : Precisely measure speed for each lz4 inner functions

- `fuzzer` : Test tool, to check lz4 integrity on target platform 

- `liblz4` : A static LZ4 library compiled to `liblz4_static.lib`

- `liblz4-dll` : A dynamic LZ4 library (DLL) compiled to `liblz4.dll` with the import library `liblz4.lib`

- `fullbench-dll` : The fullbench program compiled with the import library; the executable requires LZ4 DLL





#### Using LZ4 DLL with Microsoft Visual C++ project



The header files `lib\lz4.h`, `lib\lz4hc.h`, `lib\lz4frame.h` and the import library

`visual\VS2010\bin\$(Platform)_$(Configuration)\liblz4.lib` are required to compile a

project using Visual C++.



1. The path to header files should be added to `Additional Include Directories` that can

   be found in Project Properties of Visual Studio IDE in the `C/C++` Property Pages on the `General` page.

2. The import library has to be added to `Additional Dependencies` that can

   be found in Project Properties in the `Linker` Property Pages on the `Input` page.

   If one will provide only the name `liblz4.lib` without a full path to the library

   then the directory has to be added to `Linker\General\Additional Library Directories`.



The compiled executable will require LZ4 DLL which is available at

`visual\VS2010\bin\$(Platform)_$(Configuration)\liblz4.dll`.
