OSX yosemite make results in: unknown type name 'z_crc_t' about libxlsxwriter HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi Adan,

I don't normally use homebrew to get libs so I'll look into that. I have an idea why it isn't working.

In the meantime can you install Zlib using the method suggested in the Getting Started section of the docs. I use that on OS X and it works fine.

following the getting started guide did work, thanks!

I was able to compile zlib separately and make minizip compile by placing the libs from zlib two directories above and running make.

I just ran into exactly the same problem. I found that you can also make it work by compiling with

CPPFLAGS=-DNOCRYPT

This skips over the crypto types. I don't think these are used by libxlswriter? @jmcnamara

I doubt you encountered the same issue but you may have seen the same symptoms. Probably best to open a new bug report with the steps to reproduce it.

Correct. They aren't used and libxlsxwriter compiles it's local copy of minizip with:

CFLAGS += -O3 -DNOCRYPT -DNOUNCRYPT
