I created a symlink in my version: https://github.com/Martchus/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/zlib/mingw-w64/PKGBUILD

I noticed that in the latest version of the PKGBUILD, libz.a gets installed as libzs.a instead. This is annoying because it breaks static builds that use -lz (which is how zlib is linked 99% of the time).

If there is a good reason for this change, could you at least add a symlink libz.a pointing at libzs.a to make static linking easier?

yes, thats bad, fixed

Looks like the switch to CMake changed the library name from zlib1.dll to libz.dll. We should probably avoid that as we would otherwise have to rebuild a lot and we'd be inconsistent with MSYS2. Note that one can probably not just rename the library because the import libs would still point to libz.dll.

curl is being blocked from downloading zlib-1.3.1.tar.gz (presumably by CloudFlare), see my output:

tar.gz has moved from https://www.zlib.net/ to https://www.zlib.net/fossils/
