Normally, no, you can't just link in a library designed for userland into the kernel. Some porting is required to deal with the kernel environment -- things such as not having a full C library available, different memory management, etc. In this case however, there is already a zlib implementation in the kernel. IIRC, geom_uzip and the crypto framework both use it. You may want to check out sys/net/zlib.[ch] and see if it can do what you're after. You'll need to make sure to include a dependency on the zlib module and/or add it to your kernel configuration. Good luck, Craig _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
