You + can also download this version if you are using MINGW's gcc 4.6 (or + a binary compatible version) and want to program using the C++ + interface. + + * qpdf--bin-mingw64.zip + + A 64-bit version built with mingw. Use this for 64-bit Windows + systems. The 32-bit version will also work on Windows 64-bit. + Both the 32-bit and the 64-bit version support files over 2 GB in + size, but you may find it easier to integrate this with your own + software if you use the 64-bit version. + + * qpdf--bin-msvc32.zip + + If you want to program using qpdf's C++ interface and you are using + Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 in 32-bit mode, you can download this + file. + + * qpdf--bin-msvc64.zip + + If you want to program using qpdf's C++ interface and you are using + Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 in 64-bit mode, you can download this + file. + + * qpdf-external-libs-bin.zip + + If you want to build qpdf for Windows yourself with either MINGW or + MSVC 2010, you can download this file and extract it inside the + qpdf source distribution. Please refer to README-windows.txt in + the qpdf source distribution for additional details. Note that you + need the 2012-06-20 version or later to be able to build qpdf 3.0 + or newer. The 2009-10-24 version is required for qpdf 2.3.1 or + older. + + * 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 an unmodified distribution zlib and the jpeg + libary, it includes a README file and some scripts to help you + build it for Windows. qpdf was built using a binary distribution of + libjpeg-turbo for Windows. You will also have to provide those. See + README-windows.txt for details. + +If you want to build on Windows, please see also README-windows.txt. -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
