zlib not found in ZipWriter dependency.

pliniopvv commented 4 years ago

I search the zlib to install but only have a 'zlib1.dll' found with this name, but this file is in the 'clib' lua folder.

The API don't function in windows?

You have to install zlib byself. They both work on windows. https://github.com/moteus/ZipWriter#install

I Try, but no one install the dependency, and I search binaries of zlib and found 'zlib1.dll' what I speak in the starter post. ...

You have to install zlib byself. It is not a Lua module so luarocks does not install it. Luarocks does not install any external dependencies for a Lua modules. I think you can find an instruction how to build zlib quite easily I have my own Lua distro with some external deps, but I have no time to support it and update library versions. Also, it uses MS compiler. But you can check out it too
