         * There should be an error because it can't find zlib yet
-        * Set `ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR` to the path to the zlib headers (in SVN, that is `libraries\win32\zlib\include`)
-        * Set `ZLIB_LIBRARY` to the path to the zlib static lib (in SVN, that is `libraries\win32\zlib\lib\zlib1.lib`)
-          * '''Note:''' this is only for the release build, we'll fix that later
-        * Add Entry, `CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` as a String, and set the value to '''v120_xp''' (to use the XP compatible toolset)

         * Press '''Generate'''
-        * In `lpng1xxx\build`, there should be a `libpng.sln` solution you can open in Visual Studio 2013. Open it
-        * Open '''png1x''' project properties, select '''Debug''' configuration. Under '''Configuration Properties > Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies''', add a "d" onto the end of the zlib .lib filename (so it uses the zlib debug build in this case)
