Erorrs during Build compile
 

I have been trying today to build my server following the guide posted here but I keep getting 1 success 4 failed when I compile.

Here is a snippet from the error log.

This doesn't mean much to me but I am hoping someone else knows?

I can send someone the full log if need be.

I have tried this several times today. At first I thought it was because of my version of Perl but I found the right version uninstalled rebooted and reinstalled (deleted the perl directory too!)

Any help would be great! (I searched the forums too but didn't find anything but that could be I don't know what I am looking at!)

Warnings are just warnings. You should be looking for errors. Errors make it fail compiling.

Errors
 

c:\zlib\include\zconf.h(289) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'unistd.h': No such file or directory

c:\zlib\include\zconf.h(289) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'unistd.h': No such file or directory

These are the only two errors I get I will try re-installing zlib

Version of Zlib
 

I searched for my error again and found a few hits. Looks like the version of zlib can solve this. I am using the most recent 1.2.5

Can someone tell me what version I should use?

The links that were in the OP don't exist on sourceforge anymore.

Issue solved
 

Okay so the issue was the version of zlib. I uninstalled 1.2.5 and installed 1.2.3 and copied the new zlib1.dll file over and now I get 5 successes 0 failures!
