Re: Building for Windows without zlib?

I build Wireshark for Windows without zlib. It works faster, but I think 
that is more the result of consuming less memory than an actual speed 
increase. In addition, it allows files larger than 2 GB to be read (at 
least that used to be a reason; not sure if it is still valid). One 
drawback is that compressed HTTP payloads are not decoded.

What you need to modify in config.nmake is ZLIB_CONFIG:

Change from this:

ZLIB_CONFIG=^#define HAVE_LIBZ 1

To this:

ZLIB_CONFIG=
