+To build from source for Linux or other UNIX/UNIX-like systems, it is

+generally sufficient to download just the source qpdf-<version>.tar.gz

+file.

+

+For Windows, there are several additional files that you might want to

+download.

+

+ * qpdf-<version>-bin-mingw.zip

+

+   If you just want to use the qpdf commandline program or use the

+   qpdf DLL's C-language interface, you can download this file.  You

+   can also download this version if you are using MINGW's gcc 4.4 and

+   want to program using the C++ interface.

+

+ * qpdf-<version>-bin-msvc.zip

+

+   If you want to program using qpdf's C++ interface and you are using

+   Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2008 (VC9), you can download this file.

+

+ * qpdf-external-libs-bin.zip

+

+   If you want to build qpdf for Windows yourself with either MINGW's

+   gcc 4.4 or VC9, you can download this file and extract it inside

+   the qpdf source distribution.  Please refer to README.windows in

+   the qpdf source distribution for additional details.

+

+ * qpdf-external-libs-src.zip

+

+   If you want to build the external libraries on your own (for

+   Windows or anything else), you can download this archive.  In

+   addition to including unmodified distributions of pcre and zlib, it

+   includes a README file and some scripts to help you build them for

+   Windows.
