  I download zlib128-dll （http://zlib.net/zlib128-dll.zip）,and try to compile using gcc (64bit) :

  nim c --cincludes:D:\DEV\C++\zlib128-dll\include --clib:D:\DEV\C++\zlib128-dll\lib\zdll ziptest.nim

  or

  nim c --cincludes:D:\DEV\C++\zlib128-dll\include --clib:D:\DEV\C++\zlib128-dll\lib\zdll.lib ziptest.nim

  or

  nim c -t:-m32 -l:-m32 --cpu:i386 --cincludes:D:\DEV\C++\zlib128-dll\include --clib:D:\DEV\C++\zlib128-dll\lib\zdll ziptest.nim

  or

  nim c -t:-m32 -l:-m32 --cpu:i386 --cincludes:D:\DEV\C++\zlib128-dll\include --clib:D:\DEV\C++\zlib128-dll\lib\zdll.lib ziptest.nim

  link error:

  At last ,I got done, it's the way:

  It seems that you have to build under 32bit options with GCC , link to the lib use -l:LIB ,not --clib:LIB

  
  nim c --cincludes:zlib\include -l:zlib1.dll --cpu:i386 -t:-m32 -l:-m32 -t:-DWIN32 ziptest.nim
  Run

  If you'are on the windows32bit, --cpu:i386 -t:-m32 -l:-m32 -t:-DWIN32 is not necessary.

  Before building on windows , you have to comment three lines in privatelibzip_all.c

  
  //#define HAVE_FSEEKO 1 --line 276
  //#define HAVE_FTELLO 1 --line 279
  //#define HAVE_MKSTEMP 1 --line 291
  
  Run

  @see https://github.com/nim-lang/zip/issues/6
