Larry,
  thanks.  Your advice, was on the spot and got me closer to making a succsessful build.  The other problem I found was that on cygwin, an additional header file called  "zconf.h" is required and has to be included along with the zlib.h file.  It builds now.

Thanks for your assistance.

Do you have the zlib-devel package installed?  Does '-lz' occur in
the makefile and in the right order?  Remember, library dependencies
on Windows is linear.

Building a new package help

[wynfield]

I am trying to build an movgrab, a command line application  which can fetch video streams in various formats.

It was written for linux systems.  But, will almost build on cygwin.  

The first problem i had was it needed to have /usr/include/sys/file.h  included in a couple of files.

The last (I believe) problem is the linker can't find zlib to link to.   Below is what Makefile outputs when the error occurs.

----------  make processing outputs the below

DataProcessing.o: In function `zlibProcessorClose':
/usr/src/movgrab/movgrab-1.2.1/libUseful-2.0/DataProcessing.c:839: undefined reference to `_inflateEnd'
/usr/src/movgrab/movgrab-1.2.1/libUseful-2.0/DataProcessing.c:840: undefined reference to `_deflateEnd'
DataProcessing.o: In function `zlibProcessorRead':


 ----
Any help or leads would be appreciated.
Thank you.
