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/

Oh, also, the sed command in build() uses -ie where it should probably use -i -e; the e is interpreted as a suffix instead of the -e flag.

Building this fails for me:

Using ar
Checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc...
Checking for shared library support...
No shared library support; try without defining CC and CFLAGS
Building static library libz.a version 1.2.11 with x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc.
Checking for size_t... No.
Checking for long long... Yes.
Failed to find a pointer-size integer type.
** ./configure aborting.

As you can see, it also seems to use the wrong compiler binary (the host gcc).

Adding CC=${_arch}-gcc before the ./configure command makes it build successfully.

Had the same problem, in the configure.log i seen it was trying to compile with native gcc and it was not installed. Installed gcc ... no more problem...

@beda121 Do you maybe have some weird CFLAGS set in /etc/makepkg.conf? Anyways I also never saw that error before, but I updated the PKGBUILD to not only override the CFLAGS during make, but also during ./configure - maybe that solves your problem?
