I am learning Nim and love it so far, but I have a problem that I can't figure
out. Is there anyone that could provide some advice?
I was trying to write some code to process Excel files. I installed the XLSX
library using Nimble, but when I try to compile the code, the linker generates
an error

cannot find -lz

I found some previous posts on the forum that suggest modify the nim.cfg file,
but the -lz option does not appear. What really baffles me is that I tried the
XL library (<https://github.com/khchen/xl>) and this works correctly. I looked
at both of the libraries .nimble files and the requirements are very similar.
They both require "zippy".
I tried this on two different Windows 10 servers and got the same issue. My Nim
version is `Nim Compiler Version 2.0.0 [Windows: amd64]`
