Go to the www.zlib.org,

there is a link to download

http://www.gzip.org/zlib/zlib-1.2.1.tar.gz

uncompress it and see to the contrib/ada folder.

Happy reading

Hey Preben, would you care packaging it for Debian?  I see zlib1g-dev
doesn't contain the Ada files.  I envision a static *.a library,
*.ali, and *.ad[bs] files in their proper places on my system the next
time I upgrade zlib1g-dev :)

(I already have 11 source packages on my plate, all Ada-related,
otherwise I'd do it myself).

PS. Kudos to Dmitriy for making this binding part of the official
zlib!

Ah I see. I was looking at the contrib link on this web pages.

Yes, but unfortunately I don't have time this year. My PhD defence is in
2 weeks.

Yes and you are doing a great job!

Yes, this was what surprised me. I thought I had to look for a seperate
file to get the ada version. :-)
