5.0.1 is broken on the i386 architecture: typedef redefinition with different types ('long' vs '__ssize_t' (aka 'int'))

This is actually a problem with the bundled zip implementation and should be fixed upstream (wherever that is) and then just updated here.

So what we need to do is: define one zlib-library, use this all over the code and perform the cleanup.

I guess with the list of open issus this one will need a while.

The bug has been fixed upstream today: kuba--/zip@42c8ba8

Ok, thanks for the update.

Could you please make a release containing the fix?

Thanks!

Could you please make a release containing the fix?

I also would like to encourage this project to release a version 5.1. At least on FreeBSD, some very important other ports/packages depend on assimp, which do not build for month now on i386.

Any chance for a new release in the near future? Many thanks in advance!

A great example of that dependencies must never ever be bundled.
