It should be appended with 'LDADD' but I don't think it will make a 
difference. You can get zlib from http://sourceforge.net/projects/libpng/. 
Unpack and compile it into a directory. Then to link it statically into pov 
you remove '-lz' from LIBS and put the location of the freshly compiled 
'libz.a' as first of the 'LDADD'. So something like 'LDADD = 
../zlib-1.1.4/libz.a -L ...'.

In the meanwhile I have managed to compile it on a solaris machine. I had 
to build libpng and zlib myself though and disable X11 :( If it really runs 
I can make it available to you.. but now I need some sleep.

Have you ever tried to compile something like pov on windows?
