Uff... Years later I still often have _no idea_ how you are supposed to build simple bits of software on Windows. I needed to build a couple of utilities static linked against libpng. Spent a couple hours banging my head against it. Tried finding prebuilt binares for libpng that provided static libs, tried building it myself but it refused find the zlib I built... Gave up and just cross-compiled them using mingw on Linux in a couple minutes. 🤷 Bah!
