ZLIB version 1.2.6 for AS400 installation instructions
3
I) From an AS400 *SAVF file:
5
1) Unpacking archive to an AS400 save file
9
_ Create the ZLIB AS400 library:
11
CRTLIB LIB(ZLIB) TYPE(*PROD) TEXT('ZLIB compression API library')
13
_ Create a work save file, for example:
15
CRTSAVF FILE(ZLIB/ZLIBSAVF)
17
On a PC connected to the target AS400:
19
_ Unpack the save file image to a PC file "ZLIBSAVF"
20
_ Upload this file into the save file on the AS400, for example
21
using ftp in BINARY mode.
24
2) Populating the ZLIB AS400 source library
28
_ Extract the saved objects into the ZLIB AS400 library using:
30
RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(ZLIB) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(ZLIB/ZLIBSAVF) RSTLIB(ZLIB)
33
3) Customize installation:
35
_ Edit CL member ZLIB/TOOLS(COMPILE) and change parameters if needed,
36
according to the comments.
38
_ Compile this member with:
40
CRTCLPGM PGM(ZLIB/COMPILE) SRCFILE(ZLIB/TOOLS) SRCMBR(COMPILE)
43
4) Compile and generate the service program:
45
_ This can now be done by executing:
47
CALL PGM(ZLIB/COMPILE)
51
II) From the original source distribution:
53
1) On the AS400, create the source library:
55
CRTLIB LIB(ZLIB) TYPE(*PROD) TEXT('ZLIB compression API library')
57
2) Create the source files:
59
CRTSRCPF FILE(ZLIB/SOURCES) RCDLEN(112) TEXT('ZLIB library modules')
60
CRTSRCPF FILE(ZLIB/H) RCDLEN(112) TEXT('ZLIB library includes')
61
CRTSRCPF FILE(ZLIB/TOOLS) RCDLEN(112) TEXT('ZLIB library control utilities')
63
3) From the machine hosting the distribution files, upload them (with
64
FTP in text mode, for example) according to the following table:

Remember that most foreign textual data are ASCII coded: this
112
implementation does not handle conversion from/to ASCII, so
113
text data code conversions must be done explicitely.
115
Mainly for the reason above, always open zipped files in binary mode.
