Status Update: zlib did not import into Visual Studio 2005

[Theodore Hahn <th...@gmail.com>]

Well, I have figured out the zlib subproject needs to be built separately
first.  Of course, the new VC++ 2005 does not want to build the machine
assembly code in zlib...and another issue is -- do I really want to install
another web server on my computer when IIS is already running?  Can IIS be
used instead?

So far in help from this group, I have received two emails -- from my
perspective, my first spam with my new email account.  The statements "free"
"inside" do not qualify as being very helpful.  Perhaps the person who sent
these "helpful" responses knows how to use a spelling checker, but any
ability to write using coherent grammar is lacking.  For a while, I pondered
over the notion of a new open source marketing campaign for 'Free Inside'
instead of 'Intel Inside.'  ;-)

If anybody in this group, somehow or another the origin of the spam, wants
to assist me in tracking down the leak that generated the spam, please send
me an email, for instance, I do not know how to read, "Received: from
64.233.163.27 ([221.216.9.111])" -- is the first or second IP address more
important?

Thanks,
-- Theodore

If you're going to serve a Subversion repository through a web  
server, then as far as I know it must be Apache 2. I'd of course like  
to make a case for supporting the lighty web server, but that's  
another issue.

I report all spam I receive to spamcop.net which figures all that  
stuff out for you.

The Tigris.org web site does not obfuscate email addresses, so the  
Subversion list archives there are a likely place where spammers  
would have gotten your email address:

http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=45846

The relevant bug:

http://www.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3

Please scream and shout as much as you like about this. If it finally  
causes the problem to be resolved, I'll be greatly pleased, but am  
not holding my breath, since the bug has been open for 2.5 years  
already.

What version of zlib are you building?

zlib 1.23 has vc8 project subdirectory in the sources already.

Also the visual c build files in the older versions all have the option to build
with or without the asm.
