[Xapian-discuss] Windows link.exe error : libbrass.lib(brass_table.obj) : unresolved external symbol _inflateEnd

[TiTi]

Hi guys,

I discovered xapian today and I'm trying it because it looks promising
compared to other FTS engines.
However I'm in a windows environment so it's a bit painful to set up as
there is no official binaries.

I've heard about http://www.flax.co.uk/xapian_binaries
And I'm trying to build their latest release (1.2.8).

After a few tries I manage to compile everything with visual 2010.
However the linking is failing :

I've tried with visual 2008 : same result.

I do have zdll.lib and the path is good.
I've tried with zlib 1.2.7 and zlib 1.2.5 : same result.

Looks like there's a lib issue with zlib ("inflateEnd" is related to zlib,
right?), but I'm not sure what to do.

Could you guys give me an advice ?

Thx!
