Requirements

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

• Target OS: Windows (both x86 and x64).
• Compiler: MSVC 2012 or greater (MSVC 2010 supported until v2.x).
• DLLs: 7-zip DLLs (v19.00 if you use the GitHub release packages).

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

Note: in order to use this library you should link your program not only with bit7z but also with oleaut32 and user32 (e.g. -lbit7z -loleaut32 -luser32)

Note 2: even if compiled with the latest version of 7-zip, bit7z should work also with the dlls of previous versions, such as v16.04. However, it is strongly suggested to use dlls with the same version.

Note 3: the code has been tested with MSVC 2012, 2015 and 2017.
