Quote:From PhysFS 1.0.1
WIN32:
If building with CygWin, mingw32 or something else that uses the GNU
toolchain, follow the Unix instructions, above.

If you're using Visual C++ 6, point it at "physfs.dsp" in the root of the
source tree, and build. This will produce a "physfs.dll" and "physfs.lib"
(shared library and import lib, respectively) in either a "Debug" or
"Release" directory, depending on what configuration you chose to build.
After building the lib, you can make sure it works by building the
"test_physfs.dsp" project file, which will create "test_physfs.exe" in
"Debug" or "Release". This EXE is linked against the DLL you built
previously.

If you're using Visual C++ 6 and want to generate a static LIB file, point
it at "physfs_static.dsp" in the root of the source tree and build. This
will produce a "physfs_static.lib" in either a "physfs_static_debug"
or a "physfs_static_release" directory, depending on what configuration
you chose to build. NOPE: "test_physfs.dsp" does not work with the
statically linked build.

Visual Studio.NET users should do the same thing, but use the "physfs.vcproj"
and "test_physfs.vcproj" project files instead.

NOTE: to change build options such as which drivers are loaded (ZIP, QPAK,
etc.) modify the appropriate manifest constants under the Project Settings.
By default the LIB version supports all drivers, but the DLL build does
not support MVL or HOG file formats.

If you're using another compiler, send me a patch when you get it working. :)

No one's tried building this for a WinCE (PocketPC) platform, but it may or
may not work. Patches are welcome.

If someone is willing to maintain prebuilt PhysicsFS DLLs, I'd like to hear
from you; send an email to icculus@clutteredmind.org.
