I've created miniLZO for projects where it is inconvenient to
|
|
include (or require) the full LZO source code just because you
|
|
want to add a little bit of data compression to your application.
|
|
|
|
miniLZO implements the LZO1X-1 compressor and both the standard and
|
|
safe LZO1X decompressor. Apart from fast compression it also useful
|
|
for situations where you want to use pre-compressed data files (which
|
|
must have been compressed with LZO1X-999).
|
|
|
|
miniLZO consists of one C source file and three header files:
|
|
minilzo.c
|
|
minilzo.h, lzoconf.h, lzodefs.h
|
|
|
|
To use miniLZO just copy these files into your source directory, add
|
|
minilzo.c to your Makefile and #include minilzo.h from your program.
|
|
Note: you also must distribute this file ('README.LZO') with your project.
|
|
|
|
minilzo.o compiles to about 6 KiB (using gcc or Visual C on an i386), and
|
|
the sources are about 30 KiB when packed with zip - so there's no more
|
|
excuse that your application doesn't support data compression :-)
|
|
|
|
For more information, documentation, example programs and other support
|
|
files (like Makefiles and build scripts) please download the full LZO
|
|
package from
|
|
http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/
|
|
|
|
Have fun,
|

|
P.S. minilzo.c is generated automatically from the LZO sources and
|
|
therefore functionality is completely identical

Appendix A: building miniLZO
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
miniLZO is written such a way that it should compile and run
|
|
out-of-the-box on most machines.
|
|
|
|
If you are running on a very unusual architecture and lzo_init() fails then
|
|
you should first recompile with '-DLZO_DEBUG' to see what causes the failure.
|
|
The most probable case is something like 'sizeof(void *) != sizeof(size_t)'.
|
|
After identifying the problem you can compile by adding some defines
|
|
like '-DSIZEOF_VOID_P=8' to your Makefile.
|
|
|
|
The best solution is (of course) using Autoconf - if your project uses
|
|
Autoconf anyway just add '-DMINILZO_HAVE_CONFIG_H' to your compiler
|
|
flags when compiling minilzo.c. See the LZO distribution for an example
|
|
how to set up configure.ac.
