Requirements

In order to use the bit7z library within your project you need:

• Target OS: Windows (both x86 and x64)
• Compiler: MSVC (tested with versions 2010, 2013 and 2015)
• DLL: A DLL from 7-zip (v16.04) project; to decide which DLL is the most suitable for your needs, please see this wiki.

The 7zip DLLs are not shipped with bit7z but they are available at 7-zip.org

Note: further, you need to link your program not only with bit7z but also with oleaut32 and user32 (e.g. -lbit7z -loleaut32 -luser32)
