	* Removing symbols that are not being tested * Removing symbols used in zstdcli, fileio, dibio and benchzstd * Removing symbols used in zbuff and add test-zbuff to travis * Removing remaining symbols and adding unit tests instead * Removing symbols test entirely
Projects for various integrated development environments (IDE)
Included projects
The following projects are included with the zstd distribution:
cmake- CMake project contributed by Artyom DymchenkoVS2005- Visual Studio 2005 Project (this project has been moved to the contrib directory and will no longer be supported)VS2008- Visual Studio 2008 projectVS2010- Visual Studio 2010 project (which also works well with Visual Studio 2012, 2013, 2015)VS_scripts- command line scripts prepared for Visual Studio compilation without IDE
How to compile zstd with Visual Studio
- Install Visual Studio e.g. VS 2015 Community Edition (it's free).
 - Download the latest version of zstd from https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases
 - Decompress ZIP archive.
 - Go to decompressed directory then to 
projectsthenVS2010and openzstd.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 
projects\VS2010\bin\x64\Release\zstd.exe 
Projects available within zstd.sln
The Visual Studio solution file visual\VS2010\zstd.sln contains many projects that will be compiled to the
visual\VS2010\bin\$(Platform)_$(Configuration) directory. For example zstd set to x64 and
Release will be compiled to visual\VS2010\bin\x64_Release\zstd.exe. The solution file contains the
following projects:
zstd: Command Line Utility, supporting gzip-like argumentsdatagen: Synthetic and parametrable data generator, for testsfullbench: Precisely measure speed for each zstd inner functionsfuzzer: Test tool, to check zstd integrity on target platformlibzstd: A static ZSTD library compiled tolibzstd_static.liblibzstd-dll: A dynamic ZSTD library (DLL) compiled tolibzstd.dllwith the import librarylibzstd.libfullbench-dll: The fullbench program compiled with the import library; the executable requires ZSTD DLL
Using ZSTD DLL with Microsoft Visual C++ project
The header file lib\zstd.h and the import library
visual\VS2010\bin\$(Platform)_$(Configuration)\libzstd.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 namelibzstd.libwithout a full path to the library then the directory has to be added toLinker\General\Additional Library Directories. 
The compiled executable will require ZSTD DLL which is available at
visual\VS2010\bin\$(Platform)_$(Configuration)\libzstd.dll.
