LZMA Or 7zip in Delphi

Question

Is there any Library in Delphi to handle LZMA (or 7zip)files including creating self extracting EXEs

There are some sources code at 7zip.orgin (c++ java c#) but i want them in delphi

BUT i want something which is stand alone (No DLLs)

Answer 1

there are two solutions:

1) use the into native pascal translated sdk:

Pascal LZMA SDK

Source Download

2) you can compile the c version of the sdk into obj files and link them to your delphi project. this one requires a translation of the header files to delphi and it requires lots of c knowledge.

LZMA SDK

Answer 2

Inno setup have delphi source code to encode and decode lzma.
