When compiling AdvanceMENU under Windows I Keep running into a
roadblock when it asks for files that are already part of the
AdvanceMAME/MENU source.

I'm guessing that something must be changed in the makefile but I'm
clueless. The problems I've had are with zlib and expat. Please help
me out.

Yes there are error messages. I previovsly got farther in the process
by extracting the zlib contents to my mingw dir , bvt I was forced to
ask for help when it came to expat. Back to zlib first thovgh. Any
ideas what going on?

This is what's missing. You need to install a package (well on Linux you
install packages, no idea what you don on Windows then) which contains
zlib.h. Looks like a header library.

Got some things sorted out, but what does this mean?

C:\MinGW\advancemenu-2.4.9>mingw32-make
process_begin: CreateProcess((null), uname, ...) failed.
obj/menu/windows/blend/advmenu.exe
C:\MinGW\Bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe:
cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Google for "cannot find -lz" should help.
