Is zlib really only required for tests? I see this: $ grep -rIi zlib /gnu/store/xn8z7k6j7zm4qz14bm29fgk0kwwvz3c4-msgpack-1.4.1 /gnu/store/xn8z7k6j7zm4qz14bm29fgk0kwwvz3c4-msgpack-1.4.1/include/msgpack/zbuffer.h:#include <zlib.h> /gnu/store/xn8z7k6j7zm4qz14bm29fgk0kwwvz3c4-msgpack-1.4.1/include/msgpack/zbuffer.hpp:#include <zlib.h> So, there are headers in the msgpack output that require zlib. If you are at the stage where you are using Ring based on these packages, I wonder if it is not using the part of msgpack that uses zlib? Or, if it's finding zlib in the environment (if you are on a foreign distro)? Or have I misunderstood?
