your path by running it from a command prompt. Linux users then go to next step.

5) Install zlib [and build it if on windows].
If on windows, download http://www.zlib.net/zlib123.zip or a newer version.
Start msys so you have a bash shell. Decide where your zlib build directory
will be. It must be where you can access it from within the msys environment,
such as home/<user>. Edit your msys/1.0/etc/fstab file if needed to provide
access to this build directory from msys. Unzip the zlib123.zip file into this
build directory. Change directories into there, and then:
./configure (CHANGES NEEDED!!!)
make
make install
If linux, use your package manager to install zlib pre-built binaries.
Note (JP Charras):
Under Linux, zlib is usually installed.
if not found by wxWidget installation, wxWidgets creates an alternate zlib
Under Windows, zlib is not installed, so my cmake buld try to use the wxWidgets zlib build.
So, under windows kicad build should work without zlib install.

6) Install CMAKE.
