How to archive a directory using C++?

Question

Data archiving

It is necessary to archive the directory into any archive (zip, 7z, tar, whatever)
At the same time, the directory of the desired directory and the directory where the archive should be located are different
. I tried to implement this using ziplib, LZMA SDK and some other lib. But I didn’t understand and didn’t find anything.

I would be very grateful if you explain how to do this with the help of something, as detailed as possible,
or provide a ready-made code with comments
. I apologize for impudence, but I really can’t understand anything.
Thank you all in advance
