In that pane you can modify also the source directory. Using that, you can:
  - build CGAL libraries, without configuring the demos and examples, using 
the 
CGAL root directory as source directory,
  - then configure and build the examples and demos one by one, by using 
their 
directory as source directory, once the CGAL libraries are configured and 
build.

If you have zdll.lib, I think that that is sufficient. That one is probably 
the 
dynamic library: if uses at link time, at runtime the program will need to 
find 
zlib1.dll

If you compile zlib yourself, you can compile a static version of zlib.lib, 
which does not require any dll at runtime. But I think you can use the 
dynamic 
version that you already have.
