7-Zip Problem for windows mobile

Question

i am trying to build the 7zip code, which i can use in my windows mobile project.. does any one know how to build 7zip code and use the same in windows mobile application..

Answer 1

I have looked at the 7zip's website here and to quote what they said '7-Zip works in Windows 7 / Vista / XP / 2008 / 2003 / 2000 / NT / ME / 98. There is a port of the command line version to Linux/Unix.' A quick glance at the source code shows that there is x86 assembly involved to achieve a compression algorithm. This could explain why you could not port it across to Windows Mobile as the processor is not x86.

There is a folder within the source code called `\Asm\x86\7zCrcT8U.asm' so obviously does not target the processor in which Windows Mobile run on.

I did a quick google to see if there is indeed a version that is suitable for the Windows Mobile device. But, this could be the one you're looking for?

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.

Answer 3

If you need to get the algorithm to work under another OS (or processor architecture) than you should take a look into the LZMA SDK. Here you got the algorithm to en- or decode a 7zip file in C, C++, C# or Java.

With these you should be able to create a library for the ARM. And if you make a little more investigations into the sources from 7zip itself you should be capable to link these to parts together.
