I can't use Chocolately to install zlib or libpng or SDL or libcurl or GMP or really any of the packages that I would never have to think about installing on Linux, because they were pulled as dependencies long ago. The method for obtaining these on Windows is, as best as I have ever been able to tell, to navigate to each of their webpages and look for Windows releases, which you then download and install yourself, a task I find so daunting that I essentially never write or build programs that have any dependencies whatsoever on my Windows box. This situation is obviously ridiculous so I have to conclude I am doing something very, very wrong.

So, Windows programmers, how do get by without a package manager?
