2022-11-30Change the bug report address.Lasse Collin1-1/+1
It forwards to me and Jia Tan. Also update the IRC reference in README as #tukaani was moved to Libera Chat long ago.

2014-12-20Windows: Update the build script and README-Windows.txt.Lasse Collin1-14/+16
The 32-bit build is now for i686 or newer because the prebuilt MinGW-w64 toolchains include i686 code in the executables even if one uses -march=i486. The build script builds 32-bit SSE2 enabled version too. Run-time detection of SSE2 support would be nice (on any OS) but it's not implemented in XZ Utils yet.
2013-09-17Add native threading support on Windows.Lasse Collin1-1/+1
Now liblzma only uses "mythread" functions and types which are defined in mythread.h matching the desired threading method. Before Windows Vista, there is no direct equivalent to pthread condition variables. Since this package doesn't use pthread_cond_broadcast(), pre-Vista threading can still be kept quite simple. The pre-Vista code doesn't use anything that wasn't already available in Windows 95, so the binaries should run even on Windows 95 if someone happens to care.

2010-01-31Revise the Windows build files.Lasse Collin1-0/+115
The old Makefile + config.h was deleted, because it becomes outdated too easily and building with the Autotools based build system works fine even on Windows. windows/build.sh hasn't got much testing, but it should work to build 32-bit x86 and x86-64 versions of XZ Utils using MSYS, MinGW or MinGW-w32, and MinGW-w64. windows/INSTALL-Windows.txt describes what packages are needed and how to install them. windows/README-Windows.txt is a readme file for the binary package that build.sh hopefully builds. There are no instructions about using Autotools for now, so those using a git snapshot may want to run "autoreconf -fi && ./configure && make mydist" on a UN*X box and then copy the resulting .tar.gz to a Windows.
