I works fine on my Delphi 5 until I try to compress a file with size
of 70M and it raises the exception of integer flow error.
That means you enabled that somehow. Integer under/overflow is generally not
enabled by default, and it is somewhat unlogical to use it with converted C
code.
I initially thought it might be a Delphi 5 problem so I tried to use
Lazarus with fpc 2.6.2 to compile the same problem but it kept
complaining cannot find zstream although I already add FCL package to
the required packages list.
Probably cause by providing external paszlib sources, in combination with
precompiled already there paszlib sources, the compiler gets confused what
depends on what.
Forget about the -sg code for Lazarus, simply use the FPC provided one only.
Turn off the range checks, and try again.
I'd love to just use the paszlib in Lazarus/fpc but I also need the same
unit for Delphi 5 (Dephi 5 program will compress data and send to linux
/lazarus/fpc program ) so both sides need to understand the same
compress/decompress protocol.
I tried using the lazarus/fpc paszlib unit in Dephi 5 but it does not
compile. Too many errors.
The paszlib-sg is the only pascal unit that produces compressed data
readable by FPC's zstream and zipper units.
