Hey people!
Im looking for someone who is knowledgeable in C.
Basically I have this problem, im trying to make a Windows C app ( converted from linux ) but im having problems. Here is the code that I have it uses the ZLIB library:
Now this code is working and compiles but output files are created at 1kb only. So therefore the files are not being outputed correctly. I have been told that this is due to file sizes in Linux and Windows that are different.
I only use BASIC programming language so my C is no good ( to a point ). I understand the structure and format of C but not to much in depth.
Does anyone know how to edit this code that would be suitable for Windows environment??
P.S I am Cabal devving at the moment! Thanks in advance!
