I wrote a zlib.mak file for statically compiling the new zlib 1.2.8 on dmc, using make -fzlib.mak

I'm copying it here because it may help remove the default dependency on zlib1.dll in DMD, not that it's a big deal, but some of us were talking about a standalone GUI application using dwt or dfl a few threads back and this would be necessary if it needs basic compression too on Windows. So here it is:

STATICLIB = zlib1.lib
CC = dmc
CFLAGS = -mn -g -DNO_snprintf=1
LD = $(CC)
LDFLAGS = -L/co -L/ma
LT = lib
LTFLAGS = -c

OBJS = adler32.obj compress.obj crc32.obj deflate.obj infback.obj \
       inffast.obj inflate.obj inftrees.obj trees.obj uncompr.obj zutil.obj \
	   gzclose.obj gzlib.obj gzread.obj gzwrite.obj

all: $(STATICLIB)

.c.obj:
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c -o$@ $<

$(STATICLIB): $(OBJS)
	-del $(STATICLIB)
	$(LT) $(LTFLAGS) $@ $(OBJS)

clean:
	-del $(STATICLIB)
	-del $(SHAREDLIB)
	-del $(IMPLIB)
	-del *.obj
	-del *.exe
	-del *.map
	-del foo.gz

Isn't zlib already included in Phobos. It contains the sources at least.

Yes, I see version 1.2.5 here:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/tree/fixmaster/etc/c/zlib

I saw the dll in the dmd2 bin folder so I assumed it was necessary. Is it?

Actually, I don't know. I just know the zlib source code is included in Phobos, in etc/c/zlib.

I wrote a D application, using zlib from phobos, it didn't require dll, IIRC.

Thanks!

You can just compile a sample application using zlib from phobos and see if it works without dll.
