Issues compiling with Zlib

[gamenovice]

Hello All.

I am currently attempting to compile the wiisprite demo in order to load a test image to the screen. I almost have all the kinks worked out except for this one tidbit. The compiler says "cannot find -lz."

i seriously suspect it refers to something like libz.a file. I have been scouring the internet for weeks now, but have come up a little short. Does anyone know either a better way to do this or have the file on hand?

Thank you for reading,
game

You'll find zlib in our portlibs selection. See http://devkitpro.org/wiki/portlibs

We don't support 3rd party libraries so I'm afraid you're pretty much on your own with wiisprite. Unfortunately a lot of homebrewers who decide to release support libraries quite often provide instructions that will lead to major problems in using the tools we provide.

Thanks for the advice!
