zlib not found in ZipWriter dependency.

[pliniopvv]

I search the zlib to install but only have a 'zlib1.dll' found with this name, but this file is in the 'clib' lua folder.

The API don't function in windows?

You have to install zlib byself. They both work on windows.

I Try, but no one install the dependency, and I search binaries of zlib and found 'zlib1.dll' what I speak in the starter post. ...

C:\Users\GanGss\Documents\@\@APPS\downtube>luarocks install lua-zlib
Installing https://luarocks.org/lua-zlib-1.2-0.src.rock

Error: Could not find header file for ZLIB
  No file zlib.h in c:/external/include

You may have to install ZLIB in your system and/or pass ZLIB_DIR or ZLIB_INCDIR to the luarocks command.
Example: luarocks install lua-zlib ZLIB_DIR=/usr/local

You have to install zlib byself. It is not a Lua module so luarocks does not install it.
Luarocks does not install any external dependencies for a Lua modules.
I think you can find an instruction how to build zlib quite easily
I have my own Lua distro with some external deps, but I have no time to support it and update library versions.
Also, it uses MS compiler. But you can check out it too
