Forgive the second reply but on further study of the build log and some googling around, I think the absolute/relative paths are not the culprit, and that your suspicion about calling conventions may be correct. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5424549/unresolved-externals-despite-linking-in-zlib-lib Which led to: http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt To summarize, CDECL is default and therefore probably what Subversion is building with, but zlib may be building with STDCALL. I would check if the zlib project defines ZLIB_WINAPI and if so, remove it and retry the build.
