util-compress is a library for compressing and uncompressing data. Includes snappy and gzip and a pluggable framework to support other codecs.
A binary is included for X86_64 and AARCH64 on both Linux and MacOS. Other platforms, including 32 bit platforms, will need to compile from source and may not compile or work as-is.
Requires libsnappy-dev and libz-dev
You can build the native code for compress yourself by executing the updateNative task. It compiles the native code
using the provided Makefile, which depends on GCC.
For Linux if you are running on an x86 you will need to install "aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc" compiler, if you are running on an AARCH64 you will need to install "x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc" compiler.
On macOS, a universal dylib for both x86_64 and arm64 is built automatically. Binaries are installed to compress/src/main/resources/. for inclusion in the packaged jar.
The makefile can also be invoked directly with:
$ ./gradlew :compress:compileJava
$ cd compress/src/main/c/
$ make clean install
