Module types : dynamically and staticly loaded modules, *.so and *.a

Configuration Options

Displays a list of configuration options...

Build Instructions

Note that zlib library files are placed into /usr/local/lib and zlib header files are placed into /usr/local/include, by default.

Build Shared (and static) Libraries

.../zlib-1.2.3]# make clean
.../zlib-1.2.3]# ./configure --shared
.../zlib-1.2.3]# make test
.../zlib-1.2.3]# make install

Extra Files

.../zlib-1.2.3]# cp zutil.h /usr/local/include
.../zlib-1.2.3]# cp zutil.c /usr/local/include

[sanity check] Libs and Headers

/usr/local/lib should now contain...

libz.a
libz.so -> libz.so.1.2.3
libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.3
libz.so.1.2.3

/usr/local/include should now contain...

zconf.h
zlib.h
zutil.h

[Optional] Instructions for non-standard placement of zlib

Create the directory that will contain zlib...

.../zlib-1.2.3]# mkdir /usr/local/zlib

Follow the given procedure above, except...

.../zlib-1.2.3]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/zlib

Update the Run-Time Linker

/etc/ld.so.cache will need to be updated with the new zlib shared lib: libz.so.1.2.3

For standard zlib installation...

Add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf, if specified path is not present
/etc]# ldconfig

If zlib was installed with a prefix...

Add /usr/local/zlib/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf
/etc]# ldconfig
