Comment 2 for bug 536161

I can't reproduce.
I got the update for zlib 1.2.6 roughly a month ago and compiled Widelands several times since than (even complete clean recompile) and never faced a problem with zlib.

I am on Mageia Linux Cauldron (Development branch) 32 bit.
The Widelands package they officialy provide is build16 and is compiled against zlib1.2.6 as well.

Are you sure this problem is based upon the zlib change?
Did you try a complete clean recompile?

P.S.: This post of course does not change the general idea of rewriting the zip Code in Widelands to use the zlib library. Just questions whether this is really a blocker for Build17
