Hello everyone.

I'm working on the application that reads certain file and saves it into a bit different format. I'm using ZLib to read some compressed information in file, but 2GB of RAM is not enough to read the whole file. I have to use x64 but I can't link my app to ZLib. What can I do, please give me an advice.

Thanks.

You cannot mix 32-bit and 64-bit binaries.
You should be able to find 64-bit binaries for ZLib.
If not take the source code and build it for x64.

Correct, a 5. Well there is also a way to create a separate process and bind it with IPC but this is overly complex and sloppy at the same time.

They don't have pre-built dlls for 64bit, but they do have the source to build it yourself... +5
