Seperating out the DEFLATE algorithm

[Brendan Hill]

Hi,   I have some knowledge of C++, and some knowledge of compression and encryption algorithms. No expert though.   I’m wondering what’s the best way to take the DEFLATE algorithm (zdeflate/zinflate) in Crypto++ so it’s on it’s own. I’d like to use it in an application, but I don’t want to distribute all the other algorithms with it.   I tried removing It surgically, but it required various headers, which required other headers, etc, and eventually I ended up with almost the entire project again.   Any tips on how to separate out just one algorithm?   Regards, Brendan Hill IT Manager, Senior Software Developer Jim's Group Pty Ltd 48 Edinburgh Rd Mooroolbark Vic 3138 www.jims.net
