Fix a linking error of bzip2 on libewf #202

Closed herosi closed 3 months ago

herosi commented 3 months ago

Although building bzip2 was successful when using build.ps1, the libewf compilation failed due to a linking error with like the message below.

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'E:\devel\libyal\libewf_test\libewf\vs2022\Release\x64\bzip2.lib' [E:\devel\libyal\libewf_test\libewf\vs2022\libewf\libewf.vcxproj]

When I checked the cause, I found that the compiled bzip2.dll does not export any APIs. That's why bzip2.dll did not have bzip2.lib. bz2

To avoid that, I simply changed the vcproj file DynamicLibrary to StaticLibrary. Then the error above was resolved.

Thanks for the suggested changes, but bzip2 support is experimental and not required. Will not merge these change.
