How do I use this library? #285

This is a configuration error on my part but I can't figure it out.

LNK2001: unresolved external symbol mz_zip_reader_end

I have downloaded miniz.h and miniz.c from the release miniz-3.0.2.zip (i.e. the amalgamation). Both are in a directory that is on my include path (using VS2022). In my project I #include <miniz.h> and there are no intellisense errors. The header also mentions:

   * This is a header file library, like stb_image.c. To get only a header file, either cut and paste the
     below header, or create miniz.h, #define MINIZ_HEADER_FILE_ONLY, and then include miniz.c from it.

I realized all my other imports were header only libraries, so I had to add miniz.c to the solution for the linker to find it.
