Ideally 32 and 64 bit variants

Hi,

Readme says that for windows I should just download the .exe file and run it in the folder where my files are. However I cannot find any .exe, neither here nor in kaitz's. Is there another way to install/ simple build on windows, perhaps with python?

Thanks a lot!

Is any of these warnings worrying?

I have this issue on 2 very different devices (one amd64 one i686), both running debian testing.

On Ubuntu, it builds fine. So I suspect a bug in the debian variant of the link-time optimizer. But I have 0 experience with all of this so I hope you know what to do next.

Hi again,
In order to optimize compression of small texts (and may be some email headers with no random data or keys, just words, separators and ascii numbers) for English, Spanish and Portuguese, what would be the best approach? Can I insert some dictionaries to paq8px?

Hi! Do you think you could post an example of using this compression directly on a char array? Something along the lines of: compress(char* buffer, int size, int compression_mode, int compression_type);

Thank you so much!

Text block is not detected if data is like TEXT-DEFAULT-(...)

Hi! I'm not very experienced in building software myself and the thread in the README is outdated. When I try to compile using VS19 I get the following error:

I'm gonna assume that this is because of missing dependencies. Please add either more detailed build instructions or link a new build. Thank you!

Hi all,
I'd like to use paq8px for email compression before over-the-air transmission on a production system. Do you think it might be safe? Today I use xz, but paq8px gives me significant gains, sometimes 20% more compression.

It is possible to add the function to compress a folder like the version 124. Thank's.

Hello~. It seems the paq8qx project performs so excellent in compression ratio. But I want to implement it into
compress big data(.e.g., 1GB ) text compress. And the process speed is kB/s, which is too slow to practice in real.

Could you so nicely to give me some advises in how to optimize the speed in text compress?

What is the maximum file size supported? Afaik it's mentioned nowhere.

here's a profile from https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/tools/vtune-profiler.html

measured on an intel platform (avx2 build, gcc 9.2.0)

hopefully, it might be useful for someone to investigate where the bottlenecks are

I'm currently getting two errors. First is with cmake at build-linux.sh:

CMake Error: Parse error in command line argument: NDEBUG
 Should be: VAR:type=value

Then if just using "cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ..", I get (Debian12 aarch64):

cc1plus: error: unknown value ‘nocona’ for ‘-march’
cc1plus: note: valid arguments are: armv8-a armv8.1-a armv8.2-a armv8.3-a armv8.4-a armv8.5-a armv8.6-a armv8.7-a armv8.8-a armv8-r armv9-a native

Properly adjusting the compiler flags paq8px works as expect in a Raspberry Pi.

If you recommend the use of this project in production, is there a Python 3.7 interface that can be had for it? Thanks.
