I wish there is somebody to port this.
As per Igor Standalone command line version in folder Project\archiver\bundle\Alone\ will be easy to port
I made a try at it, once.. but it has lotsa subdirectories and libraries... without working Makefiles is not-so-easy to figure out how to compile.
Moreover the source code is written so "Windows-like" (and I know *no* Windows programming) that I can't understand which part of the code is Windows-specific and which one just uses Windows names for "normal things"...
OK, I didn't know that .dsp could be translated "easily" to Makefiles (I can't find any program that does so *and* works, though) but fortunately Filip knew it and did a "unsupported" patch.
I upgraded that to apply to 7-zip 3.11 clean source (using cygwin in -mno-cygwin mode, while his patch used mingw) so that a 7za.exe "stand alone executable" can be created with cygwin's gcc.
As Biju said in an earlier message, this is at least the beginning...
BTW: 7za.exe is much more like zip.exe than gzip.exe, as it is an archivier, not simply a compressor.
Could be interesting to "extract" a compressor from it, and maybe adapt tar to use it, too.
PS: strangely enough, the file is much much bigger (almost the double) and also a little slower (even if using -O3 -march=i686 it is 2x size an 10% slower than the original anyway)
I don't want to believe that VisualC is better than gcc-3.3 =(
