zlib.portable's Issues

Cannot install in Visual Studio Express 2012 using Nuget

I cannot install zlib.portable. I get the following error:

Successfully installed 'Zlib.Portable 1.9.2'.
Successfully uninstalled 'Zlib.Portable 1.9.2'.
Install failed. Rolling back...
Could not install package 'Zlib.Portable 1.9.2'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.5', but the package does not contain any assembly references that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

I've tried with .NETFramework version 4.0, 2.0 and so on... all gives the same error message.

Cannot install on Xamarin.iOS project?

Hey

How easy is it to fix this incompability package installation ?
fsprojects/FSharp.Data#993

Is this repo up-to-date?
Should we just postfix Xamarin.iOS10 to the targets in this file https://github.com/advancedrei/Zlib.Portable/blob/master/src/Zlib.Portable.nuspec?

Where is class ZipFile?!

See documentation http://dotnetzip.codeplex.com/ first example of use:

using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile())
 {
     // add this map file into the "images" directory in the zip archive
     zip.AddFile("c:\\images\\personal\\7440-N49th.png", "images");
     // add the report into a different directory in the archive
     zip.AddFile("c:\\Reports\\2008-Regional-Sales-Report.pdf", "files");
     zip.AddFile("ReadMe.txt");
     zip.Save("MyZipFile.zip");
 }

This is not working in your fork.

No strong named version available

Hello,

can a strong named version be provided?

Because if someone (like me) needs to strong name his own assemblies, the referenced assemblies also need to be strong named.

Thanks.

EDIT: also see my pull request under #2

The Portable part isn't really true, but very easy to fix (by deleting 4 lines of code)

Hi,

turns out that when one builds a PCL the symbol SILVERLIGHT isn't defined, so the code with #if SILVERLIGHT directives does not get compiled.

Turns out that there is one place which does use this directive, it's the one in GZipStream class (gets executed as part of static constructor), reproduced here:

    #if SILVERLIGHT || NETCF
            internal static readonly System.Text.Encoding iso8859dash1 = new Ionic.Encoding.Iso8859Dash1Encoding();
    #else
            internal static readonly System.Text.Encoding iso8859dash1 = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1");
    #endif

Seeing how neither SILVERLIGHT nor NETCF are defined for PCL builds, only the #else branch will be used and encoding which doesn't exist in Silverlight (and presumably compact framework too) will be baked in the final assembly, which will crash the static constructor of GZipStream.

This should be easy to fix by simply never using platform's built-in Encoding but always using Iso8859Dash1Encoding especially since the encoding here is just a no-op encoding, there's no question of performance or correctness.

So could you please simply remove the #if/#else/#endif and just use Iso8859Dash1Encoding which should work on all platforms? I've checked and there are no other places in the code which reference SILVERLIGHT, so this should be the only thing preventing this library from working on Silverlight.

After the fix, would you be so kind to push the new version to NuGet?

Thanks.
