Did you read the documentation that comes with CS? Open docs/html/manual/index.html in a browser.

Crystalspace is distributed as source code http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_Code meaning you will need a compiler in order to use it.
There are several free compilers available depending on your platform, for example on windows:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualC/default.aspx

MinGW/MSYS  http://www.mingw.org/

By following the documentations, you should be able to build the CS SDK and demo excecutables.

I must compile "CS\mk\visualc7\wkstypical.sln" before?

Compiling Crystal Space
To compile Crystal Space, you'll have to perform the following steps. If anything doesn't work, see the Win32 FAQ, MSVC7 FAQ.

Load `CS\mk\visualc7\wkstypical.sln' (On the other hand, if you want to try out the experimental new renderer, open the workspace `wksnewrenderer.sln' in the same directory, and select either the Release_NR or Debug_NR build mode.)

From the file menu select Build->Build Solution. Note that you must build the project using the Release or Debug build modes. Do not use the special-purpose Release_NR, Debug_NR, or ExtensiveMemDebug build modes (which are reserved for specific developmental activities on Crystal Space itself). Note that you must use Release_NR or Debug_NR if you selected `wksnewrenderer.sln'.

After a while the compilation should finish. The signal for a successful build will be come in the form of the something similar to the following:
  Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped

---------------------------------------------------

It's require zlib.lib what folder I must extract?
my CS folder here C:\CS

Please use the latest pseudo-stable. It appears like you are using 0.98 but that is very old.

Also, the lack of Zlib indicates that you havn't installed cswin32libs
