Answer 1

So there were quite a few steps I had to take in order to resolve the problems.

Within the ....\hadoop-2.7.3-src\hadoop-common-project\hadoop-common\src\main\winutils directory, I opened up the following solution in Visual Studio 2015:

winutils.sln

Within .....\hadoop-2.7.3-src\hadoop-common-project\hadoop-common\src\main\winutils\libwinutils.c , I commented out the following line of code, and made a modified copy of it as shown below:

//const WCHAR* wsceConfigRelativePath = WIDEN_STRING(STRINGIFY(WSCE_CONFIG_DIR)) L"\\" WIDEN_STRING(STRINGIFY(WSCE_CONFIG_FILE));

const WCHAR* wsceConfigRelativePath = WIDEN_STRING("../etc/hadoop") L"\\" WIDEN_STRING("wsce-site.xml");

Also, In the winutils solution's property window, I had to set the platform value to x64 as the screenshot below shows:

Next, I opened Dos command prompt, and checked the exact version of my Windows OS:

ver

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]

Also, I opened up the property window of the libwinutils project, and ensured that properties that are marked in the following snapshot had the proper values:

Also, I took the same steps for the properties of the winutils project:

(Sorry, stackoverflow would not allow me to place another picture snapshot, but all you basically have to do is make sure the the winutils project's property are set properly )

I downloaded zlib version 1.2.11 source code. Using Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 ( Visual Studio 2015 ) I built zlib from zlib version 1.2.11 source code using cmake

c:\zlib\zlib-1.2.11>cmake  -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" -A x64 c:\zlib\zlib-1.2.11\

Finally, run the build with cmake

c:\zlib\zlib-1.2.11>cmake --build .

In Windows System Variables I have the following variable defined:

ZLIB_HOME is set to C:\zlib\zlib-1.2.11
