No Info-Zip zip/unzip for Windows 8.1 (64bit) #3

Closed ozten closed 10 years ago

As reported in stackoverflow firefox - Can't build with mozilla-apk-cli without zip/unzip - Stack Overflow

We need to provide a better zip/unzip for Windows 8.1 users.

Couple options

1) There is a 64 bit Info-zip, we just need to link to it 2) Windows 8.1 CLI already has zip / unzip, use that 3) Use a NodeJS library

3 is a weak option as we have already found .zip files that blow up all the known NodeJS libraries.

I've spent some time on Windows 7 with 7-zip, but it seems complicated and it's defaults are it's own format. Compatibility with zip files in the wild seems tough.

Thanks to @mykmelez, we have a fix. I've added it as a doc.
