QuaZip - Undefined Reference

@FluentCoding
Ok :)
Do note.

It has no recursive function to add all files in all folders but using Qt that is not hard to add.

I tested it with a 1 GB zip file which it handled ok. I cannot say for larger.

It does not support 64 bit zip file so if you get yours from an external source it might be an issue.

Oh aight. Btw is it possible to open a zip file from a QByteArray (from memory generally)? @mrjj

yes

[FluentCoding]

@Christian-Ehrlicher How, if I may ask? I haven't found the appropiate method for that.

@FluentCoding
Hi
Yes it can be both memory and file-based
see section
Extract a zip entry into memory using callback.

@mrjj Thanks but I meant from memory, not into memory.

@FluentCoding
if you mean
Can i add a buffer to the zip file as was it a file then yes :)

                auto bytes = QByteArray::fromRawData(reinterpret_cast<const char *>(memory), int(fileSize32Bit));
                zip_entry_write(zip, bytes, fileSize32Bit);

[FluentCoding]

@mrjj Alright - (hopefully the) last question: How can I create zip_t object without zip_open, so that i only use zip_entry_write to add the buffer? Should I just create an object of the struct zip_t? Also, should I replace fileSize32Bit with the size of the QByteArray?

[mrjj]

Hi
I have not tried that but look in zip.c and

struct zip_t *zip_open(const char *zipname, int level, char mode) {

I think you can init it up as you like if you follow that code and the various modes + flags.

Yes, fileSize32Bit should be the QByteArray size.

[FluentCoding]

Alright, but I think that I'll try another framework :/ It seems that I can run into problems - im neither sure if the zip files i wanna extract are 32 bit and maybe, I would need to extract a .rar or .7z later. I will give Zipper a try. But thank you very much for your support, @mrjj.

@FluentCoding
Hi
Ok. Please post if you find something good that is easy to compile on windows.
Also, could you pos the link for the zlib you used ?
I cannot find any MSI and Im still abit hooked on QuaZip :)

[FluentCoding]

Sure, @mrjj.

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zlib.htm

This is the official download page. If you search good enough on the zlib homepage, you'll see that you have to download the binaries from this page.

[mrjj]

@FluentCoding
So you took one of these ?

[FluentCoding]

@mrjj Yeah, the "Complete package, except sources" one.

[mrjj]

@FluentCoding
Ok super. The DLL is from 2005.
Will try and see what visual studio thinks of it.

[FluentCoding]

@mrjj Alright.
