configure script of zlib 1.2.8 fails and says "Please use win32/Makefile.gcc instead." when $(uname -s) matches with MINGW* or mingw* by case statement of /bin/sh. And default Makefile which will be used in this case also says same warnng, but make does not return error. So kitcreator script guesses wrong. For example, I succeeded to build zlib by following. (awk line resolves another problem. Because Makefile.gcc resets CC and RC by self.) case $(uname -s 2> /dev/null) in MINGW* | mingw*) # use win32/Makefile.gcc instead. echo "Running: awk '{if($1~/^[RC]C$/&&$2~/^=/)$2="?"$2;print}' win32/Makefile.gcc > Makefile" awk '{if($1~/^[RC]C$/&&$2~/^=/)$2="?"$2;print}' win32/Makefile.gcc > Makefile echo "Running: ${MAKE:-make}" ${MAKE:-make} || exit 1 echo "Running: BINARY_PATH=${INSTDIR}/bin INCLUDE_PATH=${INSTDIR}/include LIBRARY_PATH=${INSTDIR}/lib ${MAKE:-make} install" BINARY_PATH=${INSTDIR}/bin INCLUDE_PATH=${INSTDIR}/include LIBRARY_PATH=${INSTDIR}/lib ${MAKE:-make} install ;; *) # If we are building for KitDLL, compile with '-fPIC' if [ "${KITTARGET}" = "kitdll" ]; then CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -fPIC" export CFLAGS fi # We don't pass CONFIGUREEXTRA here, since this isn't a GNU autoconf # script and will puke echo "Running: ./configure --prefix=\"${INSTDIR}\" --libdir=\"${INSTDIR}/lib\" --static" ./configure --prefix="${INSTDIR}" --libdir="${INSTDIR}/lib" --static echo "Running: ${MAKE:-make}" ${MAKE:-make} || exit 1 echo "Running: ${MAKE:-make} install" ${MAKE:-make} install ;; esac | ||||

There is an issue with building zlib using MinGW. Using a modified version of your patch, I am able to build zlib. However, the "awk" line caused problems for me here (i.e. complaints about being unable to locate the "cc" command). mistachkin added on 2015-03-26 04:41:20: This issue should now be fixed on the 'winZlib128' branch. mistachkin added on 2015-03-30 23:54:47: Fixed on trunk via check-in [9ad5a7514f35a5a2]. | ||||
