about the function "gzFile" from libz / zlib update.

I try to git the codes for GIT server and compile it. But I failed with the message below.

My computer is Archlinux x86_64, and I tried to google the problem and get the nearly message below from bbs.archlinux.org from another pack.

Hello

its due to zlib-1.2.6....

There is a change in zlib.h

-   typedef voidp gzFile;       /* opaque gzip file descriptor */
+ typedef struct gzFile_s *gzFile;    /* semi-opaque gzip file descriptor */

since gzFile is changed from void * to gzFile_s *, implicit casting from FILE * to gzFile_s * will not work

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=136269

Now I am not sure whether it will lead a bug to the executable binaries with zlib-1.2.6 installed. I will test it later.

this was fixed in simutrans standard some time ago, but obviously not merged into the branch you are compiling.
