Sorry for this necro post

An easy way to use zlib with MinGW that works (I know for sure because I've done it just 2 days ago) is this:
1. Download and unpack the zlib-1.23 source zipfile
2. Open a cmd prompt and cd to the top level folder
3. type mingw32-make -f win32\Makefile.gcc
4. Wait until it is done (about 6-8 seconds), then copy the libraries (most importantly the .a and .dll) to your lib folder
(so much for setup, now for the fun stuff)
5. Make a project, write your program etc.
6. Be sure that your lib folder is in the linker's search path (normally that is the case)
7. Add z to the "Link libraries" field in project options (or alternatively, specify the absolute path)

I tried your method, but she fails.
When I run mingw32-make -f win32\Makefile.gcc, cmd tells me :

--- Quote ---gcc: error: CreateProcess: No such file or directory
win32\Makefile.gcc:85: recipe for target 'adler32.o' failed
mingw32-make: *** [adler32.o] Error 1
--- End quote ---

I don't know why.
Thanks for any help :)

BlueHazzard:
This has nothing to do with codeblocks... you simply fail to compile a 3th party library. You can ask at the support forum for the compiler, or better for the library... But here you probably won't find help...
