#8831 closed patch (fixed)

Update win32 packager zlib

Reported by: Jeff Lu <jll544@…> Owned by: robertm
Priority: minor Milestone: 0.24
Component: Ports - Windows Version: Master Head
Severity: medium Keywords: win32 zlib
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

The current packager uses msys-z.dll instead of zlib, causing initialization problems loading apps that link libavcodec or libavformat. Attached patch switches to using zlib provided by MinGW project. Dependency downloads also attached for convenience, though they can be downloaded from ​http://sourceforge.net/downloads/mingw/MinGW/zlib/zlib-1.2.3-1-mingw32/

Note that make clean (or bump the default build revision to trigger it) is needed to ensure that libavcodec and libavformat are linked against the replacement libz-1.dll

(In [25919]) Fixes for the Windows Build script to prevent broken appliation startup due to using wrong libz. I've added the correct libs to the google code repository and all seems well. Also add fixes for recent Makefile, configure and config dir changes to allow building to work again. Fixes #8831.
