	Projects for various integrated development environments (IDE)
Included projects
The following projects are included with the lz4 distribution:
VS2010- Visual Studio 2010 project (which also works well with Visual Studio 2012, 2013, 2015)
How to compile lz4 with Visual Studio
- Install Visual Studio e.g. VS 2015 Community Edition (it's free).
 - Download the latest version of lz4 from https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases
 - Decompress ZIP archive.
 - Go to decompressed directory then to 
visualthenVS2010and openlz4.sln - Visual Studio will ask about converting VS2010 project to VS2015 and you should agree.
 - Change 
DebugtoReleaseand if you have 64-bit Windows change alsoWin32tox64. - Press F7 on keyboard or select 
BUILDfrom the menu bar and chooseBuild Solution. - If compilation will be fine a compiled executable will be in 
visual\VS2010\bin\x64_Release\lz4.exe 
Projects available within lz4.sln
The Visual Studio solution file lz4.sln contains many projects that will be compiled to the
visual\VS2010\bin\$(Platform)_$(Configuration) directory. For example lz4 set to x64 and
Release will be compiled to visual\VS2010\bin\x64_Release\lz4.exe. The solution file contains the
following projects:
lz4: Command Line Utility, supporting gzip-like argumentsdatagen: Synthetic and parametrable data generator, for testsframetest: Test tool that checks lz4frame integrity on target platformfullbench: Precisely measure speed for each lz4 inner functionsfuzzer: Test tool, to check lz4 integrity on target platformliblz4: A static LZ4 library compiled toliblz4_static.libliblz4-dll: A dynamic LZ4 library (DLL) compiled toliblz4.dllwith the import libraryliblz4.libfullbench-dll: The fullbench program compiled with the import library; the executable requires LZ4 DLL
Using LZ4 DLL with Microsoft Visual C++ project
The header files lib\lz4.h, lib\lz4hc.h, lib\lz4frame.h and the import library
visual\VS2010\bin\$(Platform)_$(Configuration)\liblz4.lib are required to compile a
project using Visual C++.
- The path to header files should be added to 
Additional Include Directoriesthat can be found in Project Properties of Visual Studio IDE in theC/C++Property Pages on theGeneralpage. - The import library has to be added to 
Additional Dependenciesthat can be found in Project Properties in theLinkerProperty Pages on theInputpage. If one will provide only the nameliblz4.libwithout a full path to the library then the directory has to be added toLinker\General\Additional Library Directories. 
The compiled executable will require LZ4 DLL which is available at
visual\VS2010\bin\$(Platform)_$(Configuration)\liblz4.dll.
