SUMMARY
With digiKam-6.1.0-git-20190310T212601-Win64.exe, a system dialog stating "The program can't start because libz.dll is missing from your computer." occurs on every launch. This did not occur with the 20190308 build.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

A system dialog stating "The program can't start because libz.dll is missing from your computer." occurs on every launch. This did not occur with the 20190308 build.


EXPECTED RESULT

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Program Files directory for digiKam does not contain a libz.dll file. There is a zlib1.dll.

The problem is due to the new DrMinGw update which is cross compiled while Windows installer compilation. There is no dll dependencies scan over DrMinGW dll, and this one use libz.dll. I will fix that this evening.

Bill,

The problem must be fixed in next Windows installers for pre-release 6.1.0. Files will be uploaded this morning (compilation just started - this take 2 hours).
