Well  the  unix  makefile  did  work ok for unzip. But to compile zip wchar.h is
required  for  unicode support. So I downloaded and built mintlib 0.58.0. When I
tried compiling, gcc complained about the lack of header file wctype.h, in which
a function called twupper() is defined (I guess!).

So  for  now I left out unicode support, and it builds fine. Which leads me to a
few questions:

a) Anyone interested in the binaries as is?
b)  Should  I  try  to  create  RPMs or are they not necessary? (note: I have no
previous experience in creating them :))
c)  Is  there  any  work  being  done  on  mintlib to support new functions like
twupper()?
