i've got the only version of it cygwin has listed. i guess i'm gonna have to get andlinux working to compile this. or is there some way for me to download the development zlib and install it in cygwin other than through the cygwin install file?

lol apparently it's not as obvious as i thought it was, but i REALLY don't know linux. the few commands i do know are the basic commands needed for navigating a shell, and i tend to have a little difficulty remembering some of those sometimes too. it doesn't help that i destroyed the memory sections of my brain with cocaine and ecstasy several years ago. i've been clean for 4 years now but my memory isn't coming back.

That's a poor excuse. Trust me :). I installed andlinux onto my laptop which runs vista32 with a few clicks. It's really not all that hard to install (I used the KDE version) and you can use kate under windows ASAP! I <3 kate, and using it to write code is almost essential for me.
Try aptitude if apt-get doesn't work. Apt-get is actually pretty deprecated, aptitude is the new wave :)
Doesn't Cygwin (forgive me if I'm wrong, been YEARS since I last used it) also have its own package manager, almost like Debian's jigdo? I seem to remember some Cygwin GUI where you just clicked check boxes next to any number of packages and it went out and installed them.

Yes, you use the Cygwin setup program, not aptitude or apt-get.

Isn't aptitude just a UI for apt? It's all I ever really use.

Did you make sure that you have every Cygwin zlib library, including the development files? This issue has come up before – IIRC it has a strange name. Try searching the forums for "zlib development".
The problem is that gnu ld requires the object files that reference zlib to appear before the library on the command line, otherwise it isn't searched. Check your makefile.
This won't work.. gcc -lz -o myprog myprog.o This will… gcc -o myprog myprog.o -lz
if anyone can tell me what this means i'd appreciate it. i'm using cygwin to compile if that matters any.
