Open Visual Studio and go to the tools menu and select options. Expand the Projects and Solutions menu in the left pane then choose VC++ Directories. Look for where it says Show directories for: and select Include Files. Now add the file path to the zlib.lib file.

That's because the guide links a file that doesn't have zlib.lib in it

It has a file called zdll.lib which you can just rename to zlib.lib without issues if you are compiling with Visual Studio 2008

The guide is for Express Edition.

I haven't tried the full version so I can't comment on that.

You do not have to rename any zlib file using Express Edition.

well I renamed everything in C:\zlib\lib to be zlib instead of zdll, but I still failed 6 builds. When I look at it it still says stuff like fatal error: cannot open zlib.li. I have C:\zlib\lib and C:\zlib\include both in my directories thing too

To clarify blackgragonsdg's instructions, the lib folder must be in your "Library files" list, and the include folder must be in your "Include files" list. Make sure it's set this way.

ok so can anyone just give an actual list of the things u need to add into the directories and what part? It's kinda hard trying to balance between what you all say and what the guide says
