'How to use zlibwapi instead of zlib for compiling PostgreSQL?

For PostgreSQL, I have compiled zlib 1.2.11 on msvc 2022. After compiling zlib I got following list of files.

 Directory of C:\Users\Documents\zlib_build\zlib-1.2.11\contrib\vstudio\vc14\x86\ZlibDllRelease

02/04/2022  11:33 AM    <DIR>          .
02/04/2022  11:33 AM    <DIR>          ..
02/04/2022  11:33 AM    <DIR>          Tmp
02/04/2022  11:33 AM           143,360 vc143.pdb
02/04/2022  11:33 AM           422,912 zlibwapi.dll
02/04/2022  11:33 AM            16,800 zlibwapi.exp
02/04/2022  11:33 AM            28,330 zlibwapi.lib
02/04/2022  11:33 AM           759,073 zlibwapi.map
02/04/2022  11:33 AM         6,696,960 zlibwapi.pdb
               6 File(s)      8,067,435 bytes
               3 Dir(s)  24,997,359,616 bytes free

But when I use the above Zlib library to compile PostgreSQL, I'm getting the following error.

  LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'C:\library\zlib_build\ZlibDllRelease\lib\zdll.lib'

This is the first time I compiled Zlib library, Is there any step I'm missing with which I would have gotten zdll.lib file. Or do I need to change anything related to Postgres compilation so that It would use zlibwapi.lib?
