Zlib - compressing multiple files into one compressed file?
Author
I've spend quite a few hours looking for a bunch of zlib resources since I have no idea what to actually use..
Anyway, I downloaded zlib along with zlibtool.zip elsewhere, which basically lets me do this to compress and uncompress files:
I generally use OS tools to create the zip files and PhysFS to read the archives in my applications.

I can't seem to find any way to compile physfs, seeing as it doesn't come with any sort of installation instructions :(. I just get spammed with 3 errors which I can't seem to figure out when I try to compile physfs.c

Are you really compiling physfs.c file? Output from Visual Studio build log shows that you are compiling physfc.cpp file. What is this file? Why are you not using original physfs.c file?
Author
Now I'm just getting the following message when compiling the original physfs.c(whoops with the first time)
But other than that, even if I do manage to compile it, what am I supposed to do with it? There's very few details on usage anywhere.

Hi,
as far as I know, zlib just compress only one file. So, the usual approach in the linux world is to pack the files with tar and then compressing the tar file.

The PhysFS archive comes with a text file INSTALL.txt. Are you following the instructions on how to build it there? Also, a PhysFS tutorial is available on the PhysFS website. Funny enough, it's listed under the section labeled "Documentation".

Thanks, I feel stupid for having missed that, I take back about the lack of documentation. I was rather stressed and had spend the entire previous day finding a suitable solution so I wasn't particularly relaxed in the morning.
