That's indeed not a clean procedure :)

No. You should at least do a "make build" on the root directory. This should
build the win32/libz.a library. Then you can add it as -largs parameters... 
That's far from being a clean procedure though... You should aim to a clean
build:

edit makefile.conf then:

   $ make build
   $ make install
