Always read error messages (especially from a linker) like a love letter!

Note the referenced '/lz' as an unrecognized option ...

'-lz' in a *nix based system implies that libz.[so|a|o] exists somewhere
where your linker can find it.  You will need to put the libz.dll or
whatever windows compiler will name it in a location that it can be found,
and point your linker to it an a manner consistent with object files ...

Ok, so now I have the following link line, and am linking with
zlib1.lib.

link -dll -nologo /MANIFEST -lz C:/my_sandbox/third_party/tcl/
tcl8.5.6/../../
zlib-1.2.3/shared/lib/win32d/zlib1.lib C:/my_sandbox/third_party/tcl/
tcl8.5.6/
win32d/lib/tclstub85d.lib C:/my_sandbox/third_party/tcl/tcl8.5.6/
win32d/
lib/tkstub85d.lib -debug -out:tkpng09d.dll tkImgPNG.obj
tkImgPNGInit.
Obj

It finds the built package just fine if I I do "package require tkpng"
from the
installation directory, i.e. where tkpng09.dll is at. But, when
I try to use the package from some other folder location it complains:
“couldn't load library "C:/my_sandbox/third_party/tcl/tcl8.5.6/win32d/
lib/tkpng0.9/tkpng09d.dll": this library or a dependent library could
not be found in library path.”

Does anyone have an idea how I can resolve this?

Thanks,
Mona.
