Zlib Native Nuget package

Uses CoApp project to build the zlib package.

Prerequisites

Multiple versions of VS installed to be able to build all the targets:

• Visual Studio 2013
• Visual Studio 2010 (you might need SP1 to prevent LNK1123 error)

CoApp toolkit: http://downloads.coapp.org/files/CoApp.Tools.Powershell.msi

More details on installation: http://coapp.org/tutorials/installation.html

Building

Build all flavors of zlib library using the provided batch file.

buildall.bat

Then, create NuGet package using powershell (you'll need the CoApp toolkit installed):

[THIS_DIRECTORY]> Write-NuGetPackage grpc.dependencies.zlib.autopkg

This will create three NuGet packages:

• the main dev package
• the redistributable package that contains just the binaries and no headers
• the symbols package (debug symbols)

Later, you can push the package to NuGet.org repo. Attention: before pusing the resulting nuget package to public nuget repo, you have to be 100% sure it works correctly - there’s no way how to delete or update an already existing package.
