if your zlib is looking for unistd.h, you have the wrong zlib.

what version of zlib do i need then?

[bushman77]

ok i was using the download links in the wiki, which ponts to an incorrect package. this is the correct package you need http://www.zlib.net/zlib123-dll.zip

The Wiki also had a link on how to edit zconf.h.

Possible error messages with Uninst.h



You might get an error from the zlib\zconf.h having a problem with the uninst.h file. If you get this error, open zconf.h with a text editor and scroll down to line number 238. Make sure that the line shows as follows:

#if 0 /* HAVE_UNISTD_H -- this line is updated by ./configure */

If the #if is 1, change it to 0 to fix it (for windows)
