What am I doing wrong?

@jekovcar Do I understand right, you try to install it on Windows?

[jekovcar]

Yes, on Windows 7x64

[kelson42]

Like explained in the README we provide straight support only for macOS and GNU/Linux. For windows you need to compile the libzim manually what you have not done AFAIK. Windows support will be added at some point, see #91
