| Thomas Klausner | f423dd2 | 2016-02-17 13:58:57 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 8 | For more information, take a look at the included man pages. You can |
| 9 | start with [libzip(3)](http://nih.at/libzip/libzip.html), which lists |
| 10 | all others. Example source code is in the `src/` subdirectory. |

| 12 | If you have developed an application using libzip, you can find out |
| 13 | about API changes and how to adapt your code for them in the included |
| Thomas Klausner | f423dd2 | 2016-02-17 13:58:57 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 14 | file `API-CHANGES`. |

| Thomas Klausner | f423dd2 | 2016-02-17 13:58:57 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 16 | For generic installation instructions, see file `INSTALL`, which |
| Dieter Baron | 95a0fa3 | 2016-02-17 12:29:25 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 17 | describes the approach using autoconf; alternatively, you can |
| 18 | use cmake to build. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Additionally, you'll need zlib (at least version 1.1.2). It comes |
| 21 | with most operating systems nowadays, or you can get it at |
| 22 | > http://www.zlib.net/ |
