Hi,

I guess it is not in the repository (but there is zlib).
I made a Makefile, it build and install the library, but I didn't test it.

1 - Download and unpack : bzip2 1.0.4
2 - Copy this Makefile, instead of the one include in the official source
3 - Then in your shell :
$ make
$ make install

This will build and install the library (libbz2.a) and the header (bzlib.h).
You may have errors when linking your application, if some functions need by the library don't exist in pspsdk, report it.

[EDIT : Makefile path corrected. Use PREFIX=$(shell psp-config --psp-prefix).]

Big thanks to you!!!! It works,my program compiles now.But you need to fix path that your makefile copy bzlib.h into.It should be copied to "/usr/local/pspdev/psp/include",instead of "'/usr/local/pspdev/include" - for me it worked in this first case.And so maybe you should ask admin if you could include it in svn repository?It may be useful for others.And thanks again :-)

Yes you are right, it's the wrong path for bzlib.h and libbz2.a. I'll correct that, and few other mistake (LDFLAGS=.... is not necessary, I was very tired).
I will make some tests to be sure that the library work as we want to. And I'll add it to the repository if admins accept it ?

I confirm that the library is working proprely. All tests carried out by bzip2 are passed successfully on the PSP (compress and decompress some samples files, and compare them with references files).

Do I add the lib on pspdev ?
