Error: cannot find -lz: No such file or directory #441

I have this error when i try to build into an executable but running the python file is fine and doesn't throw any errors.

System: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS On Windows WSL
Command: codon build -exe main.py

Output:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
error: process for 'g++' exited with status 1

main.py: print("Hello world")

Codon seems to successfully build on object file, but can't link it into an executable.

Hi @DeathBeastLLC, this is because you don't have zlib installed -- you can install it with sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev. Let me know if the issue persists after that.

Hi @arshajii Thank you for helping me! Everything now works.
