[Ethereal-dev] Zlib 1.1.4 and MSVC++

[Gerald Combs <gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone successfully built Ethereal with zlib 1.1.4 using MSVC++?  I
downloaded the latest zlib package from http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/
(zlib114dll.zip), and modified wiretap/Makefile.nmake to link against
"static32\zlibstat.lib" in the zlib library directory.  The linker now
returns

zlibstat.lib(gzio.obj): error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _errno

and stops.  I also tried linking against the zlib DLL that comes with the
package.  It compiled successfully, but the Ethereal executable couldn't
open any capture files.
