Description Rafał Mużyło 2006-10-03 01:08:51 UTC 
Well, zlib.h defines gzdirect, inflateGetheader and more, but zlib-1.2.2-mapfile.patch doesn't have them. Due to that many post-1.2.2 symbols are not exported, resulting in linker errors (undefined reference).
I created zlib-1.2.3-mapfile.patch by reading zlib's Changelog and adding all functions listed as added post 1.2.2. Don't know if it's any good.

It seems to work.

going the mapfile route isnt really maintainable ... i doubt most people who would bump zlib would even realize they need to update it

i'll see about adding a visibility/hidden test to the configure script and then tagging all the symbols that arent supposed to be exported as hidden ...

should be fixed in 1.2.3-r1 now

Could anyone please check if it's still needed on zlib-1.2.4 ?
