Description

In case you downloaded the latest version of jenkins.tar.gz, which contains the build-generator (compiled on 32bit arch),
and executed the build-generator on a 64 bit architecture you need to install the 32 bit version of zlib in order
to make things work.

I can't do anything against this. You need a correct 32 bit environment. Maybe Jan can prepackage that library in the executable?

There are a few possibilities:
  1. Disable the executable compression feature. This would get rid of the libz dependency but would also prevent the use of compressed binaries. Maybe this is the way to go since the whole package is compressed anyway.
  2. Hacking SBCL to statically include libz in all binaries as Johannes suggested. This would not be too hard but annoying to maintain.
  3. Including the 32bit and 64bit versions of the generator and have a shell script select the appropriate version at runtime.
  4. Distribute the generator in source form and have users install SBCL (this would be similar to the model used by Python).

I'd vote for option 1 and (later) probably 2.
