| michael@0 | 22 | GNU LGPL in all aspects while it is in agreement |
| michael@0 | 23 | with unRAR license. But you can not break unRAR license rules. |

| michael@0 | 48 | unRAR license + GNU LGPL Notes |
| michael@0 | 49 | ------------------------------ |
| michael@0 | 50 | |
| michael@0 | 51 | Please check main restriction from unRar license: |
| michael@0 | 52 | |
| michael@0 | 53 | 2. The unRAR sources may be used in any software to handle RAR |
| michael@0 | 54 | archives without limitations free of charge, but cannot be used |
| michael@0 | 55 | to re-create the RAR compression algorithm, which is proprietary. |
| michael@0 | 56 | Distribution of modified unRAR sources in separate form or as a |
| michael@0 | 57 | part of other software is permitted, provided that it is clearly |
| michael@0 | 58 | stated in the documentation and source comments that the code may |
| michael@0 | 59 | not be used to develop a RAR (WinRAR) compatible archiver. |
| michael@0 | 60 | |
| michael@0 | 61 | In brief it means: |
| michael@0 | 62 | 1) You can compile and use compiled files under GNU LGPL rules, since |
| michael@0 | 63 | unRAR license almost has no restrictions for compiled files. |
| michael@0 | 64 | You can link these compiled files to LGPL programs. |
| michael@0 | 65 | 2) You can fix bugs in source code and use compiled fixed version. |
| michael@0 | 66 | 3) You can not use unRAR sources to re-create the RAR compression algorithm. |
| michael@0 | 67 | |
| michael@0 | 68 | |
| michael@0 | 69 | 7zip\Compress\Rar29\Original folder contains files that are modified |
| michael@0 | 70 | versions of original unRAR source code files. |

| michael@0 | 90 | How to compile |
| michael@0 | 91 | -------------- |
| michael@0 | 92 | To compile sources you need Visual C++ 6.0. |
| michael@0 | 93 | For compiling some files you also need |
| michael@0 | 94 | new Platform SDK from Microsoft' Site: |
| michael@0 | 95 | http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm |
| michael@0 | 96 | or |
| michael@0 | 97 | http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/XPSP2FULLInstall.htm |
| michael@0 | 98 | or |
| michael@0 | 99 | http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/ |
| michael@0 | 100 | |
| michael@0 | 101 | If you use MSVC6, specify SDK directories at top of directories lists: |
| michael@0 | 102 | Tools / Options / Directories |
| michael@0 | 103 | - Include files |
| michael@0 | 104 | - Library files |
| michael@0 | 105 | |
| michael@0 | 106 | |
| michael@0 | 107 | To compile 7-Zip for AMD64 and IA64 you need: |
| michael@0 | 108 | Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK from microsoft.com |
| michael@0 | 109 | |
| michael@0 | 110 | |
| michael@0 | 111 | |
| michael@0 | 112 | Compiling under Unix/Linux |
| michael@0 | 113 | -------------------------- |
| michael@0 | 114 | Check this site for Posix/Linux version: |
| michael@0 | 115 | http://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/ |
| michael@0 | 116 | |
| michael@0 | 117 | |
| michael@0 | 118 | Notes: |
| michael@0 | 119 | ------ |
| michael@0 | 120 | 7-Zip consists of COM modules (DLL files). |
| michael@0 | 121 | But 7-Zip doesn't use standard COM interfaces for creating objects. |
| michael@0 | 122 | Look at |
| michael@0 | 123 | 7zip\UI\Client7z folder for example of using DLL files of 7-Zip. |
| michael@0 | 124 | Some DLL files can use other DLL files from 7-Zip. |
| michael@0 | 125 | If you don't like it, you must use standalone version of DLL. |
| michael@0 | 126 | To compile standalone version of DLL you must include all used parts |
| michael@0 | 127 | to project and define some defs. |
| michael@0 | 128 | For example, 7zip\Bundles\Format7z is a standalone version of 7z.dll |
| michael@0 | 129 | that works with 7z format. So you can use such DLL in your project |
| michael@0 | 130 | without additional DLL files. |
