[svn 3151] zlib library version error

[complexityQuantifier]

When I compile tome svn 3151 on a fully-updated Ubuntu Maverick machine, then try to run t-engine, I get:

I can verify that Ubuntu ships with zlib1g version "1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu1", and I don't have the option of installing any other versions. I've tried running "premake4 clean" and then "make clean", and even deleting every file listed by "svn status". There weren't any warnings in the "Building luazlib" section of compilation.

svn t-engine includes the v1.2.3 zlib code.
You could possibly try to rearrange the compile instructions for lzlib in build/te4core.lua.

Yeah, I got it working by downloading zlib 1.2.3.4 and putting it in the directory.

[TheDevilWearsPravda]

I'm getting the same result on my archlinux machine. Zlib has been 1.2.5 for quite some time, I don't know exactly what I should do.

[TheDevilWearsPravda]

Maybe we should build using the user's zlib instead of the out of date zlib provided? I'm out of my element here.

[darkgod]

Hummm weirdness! I should use the compiled version .. hummmmm

Bug still happens in svn 3171. Copying zlib 1.2.3.4 source files into src/physfs/zlib123/ works around it, but obviously that's not the REAL fix, because then you'd still fail on users' systems that have 1.2.3.3 or 1.2.3.5 or whatever.

I'd agree that t-engine should be using the installed zlib as long as it meets a sane minimum level -- that's what most autoconf-based projects do.
