wimlib

As requested I tested building the capturewim example using Visual Studio 2015 and the latest wimlib (wimlib-1.11.0-BETA2). Tested both architectures. Worked great! Here are the relevant files from the release and what I did with them: Common \devel\wimlib.h -> \[console_project] i686 libwim-15.dll ...

Agreed it's probably beyond the scope. I thought there might be some additional flexibility around pipable given it's a wimlib-specific format. :) As you know there are quite a few constraints around the WIM format, and you've given us some great potential freedoms by combining the pipable format wi...

I love the pipable wim concept, and the ability to capture/apply via STDOUT/STDIN works for a number of use cases. Would you consider adding the ability to work with the pipable data via an API callback? This is a pattern I've seen in compression libraries that could be a be a way to allow preproces...

That's great news. Not sure if you want to add a stretch goal while you're in there, but thought I would mention it... The import library (libwim.dll.a) has been working great so far in using libwim-15.dll dynamically. Let's say for a second you would like to use Visual Studio to create a standalone...

It's been fun figuring out how to build the wimlib examples using Visual Studio so I thought I'd share. Here are the high level tasks that must be performed as of wimlib 1.10.0: - Build wimlib from source (both i686 and x86_64 architectures). - Create a new Win32 Console Application using Visual Stu...

FWIW, this is a non-issue on Visual Studio 2015 as Microsoft decided it was finally "time" to define timespec. You can find it in the time.h included in version 10 of the Windows Kits: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10240.0\ucrt\time.h #ifndef _CRT_NO_TIME_T struct tim...

When using Visual Studio 2013, if you reference only the headers mentioned in the docs (wimlib.h, wimlib_tchar.h) and build an otherwise empty project, you receive the following errors: Error 1 error C2079: 'wimlib_dir_entry::creation_time' uses undefined struct 'timespec' wimlib.h Error 2 error C20...

Yes, exactly. Basically the process of building the library (e.g. libwim-15.dll) on Windows where third-party libraries are statically linked. As requested, I've worked through the issues and have come up with steps that may be appropriate for inclusion in a future README.WINDOWS. Additional Cygwin ...

Hi, I followed the build instructions in README.WINDOWS and successfully created binaries (1.10.0) with dynamically linked libraries. Thank you for great instructions. I would like to be able to do the same but link the dependencies statically. The build instructions mention this is how the official...
