#4639 closed defect (fixed)

OSX compilation failure due to outdated zlib

Description

As reported by nigel87, when trying to compile the game from source on OSX, we get the following error:

-e Building zlib...
tar: Unrecognized archive format
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

This seems to be caused by that zlib version simply not being hosted anymore:

This URL returns 404: http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz whereas this URL is the only URL that serves correctly on that hostname I could find quickly: http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz

As of June 15th 2017, that's the most recent version (released January 15, 2017).
