problem with installation on Windows

[Myrddin]

Hey guys. I used Crystalspace to make a game for my game development capstone course for a computer science degree at GVSU. Now, however, I don't really like Linux so I was trying to get the Windows version of CS installed so I can make a windows exe to showcase in my portfolio.

While installing, I installed the 0.98r004 version of crystalspace, and the 0.98r004_001 version of CrystalSpaceLib. When I attempt to compile following the manual's instructions for visual studio, when I get to "rebuild all", VS spits out two errors, .\..\include\csutil/zip.h(28) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'zlib.h': No such file or directory
both times.

I checked, and it seems that zlib.h is included in the library I installed, so why wouldn't it register? I also found the source code myself and manually inserted the zlib.h file in the directory, but alas that didn't work either.

How can I get CS working on my machine?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe the IDE don't see the CrystalSpace  include directories. Complier? IDE?

Wouldn't everything else not compile though, not just those two classes in regards to a single file?

Okay, I tried reinstalling the win32libs again (same exe though) and it seems to be getting further, so I am crossing my fingers

Hey it works! I can run all the demos no problem!

Now another question - I created a Makefile in my Linux install of CS based on the examples. Make no longer works on the Windows project though, saying immediately "cannot find -ldl" and "ld returned 1 exit status".

Using cygwin, by the way. Is there an additional library in cygwin setup I need to add, or something in the Makefile I need to change?
