#### Included projects
The following projects are included with the lz4 distribution:
+- `cmake` - CMake project
- `VS2010` - Visual Studio 2010 project (which also works well with Visual Studio 2012, 2013, 2015)
+- `VS2017` - Visual Studio 2017 project
#### 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`
+4. Go to decompressed directory then to `build` 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`
+8. If compilation will be fine a compiled executable will be in `build\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)_$(Configuration)` directory. For example `lz4` set to `x64` and
-`Release` will be compiled to `visual\VS2010\bin\x64_Release\lz4.exe`. The solution file contains the
+`build\VS2010\bin\$(Platform)_$(Configuration)` directory. For example `lz4` set to `x64` and
+`Release` will be compiled to `build\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
+- `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)_$(Configuration)\liblz4.lib` are required to compile a
-project using Visual C++.
+`build\VS2010\bin\$(Platform)_$(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.
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)_$(Configuration)\liblz4.dll`.
+`build\VS2010\bin\$(Platform)_$(Configuration)\liblz4.dll`.
