When using zlib with mingw32, should I be linking to the zlib1.dll file, or to some zlib.so file? I would think the latter, but cannot find any resources explaining how to get and/or use such a file.

    Also on linux the usual recipe is

    mingw-g++ ...... -lole32
    

    which links to a DLL, not an .so; The executable produced is also a Windows executable, remember.

    See e.g. my recent post here: Discovering registered COM components which compiles the same binary on both linux and windows
