1. Introduction
---------------

This is a Scheme library  that implements a binding to Zlib,
the  popular  compression library.   It  is  built upon  the
Nausicaa/Scheme     package,    making     use     of    its
foreign--functions interface.  It  supports Ikarus, Mosh and
Ypsilon Scheme.

  Currently the package supports only GNU+Linux systems.

  The last time the author  bothered to update this file, he
had tested Zlib version 1.2.3.

4. Install
----------

Be sure to have installed the Nausicaa/Scheme package first.

  Basically we should do:

   $ cd <nausicaa-top>
   $ cd zlib
   $ mkdir "=build"
   $ cd "=build"
   $ ../configure
   $ make
   $ make test
   $ make install

  To test what a rule will do use the "-n" option; example:

    $ make install -n

  The "Makefile" supports the "DESTDIR" environment variable
to install the files under a temporary location; example:

    $ make install DESTDIR=/tmp/marco/nausicaa-zlib

  The   "Makefile"  supports  the   packages  infrastructure
described  in the  Nausicaa documentation.   Refer to  it to
build binary distribution archives.
