Trouble compiling a server from source: ZLIB error

[Uleat]

Compile the zlib project first and it will create a dll file.

The build version of this should match your build version of your server (Debug, Release, etc...)


You will find a sub-folder named for the type of build you compiled.

Copy the dll file from there and paste it twice:

1) In your server run folder

2) In the dependencies\zlib folder where you put the header files.

You will need to rename both copies of the file to "zlib1.dll"


You should be able to load up the server solution and compile at this point.


EDIT: If you compiled with any debug info, you can also copy the linker files to your server directory to help with zlib-based crashes.
