zlib 1.2.5.2 (the version we currently require) was released
2011-12-17. I wouldn't put any effort into supporting an even older
version of zlib. We've dropped support for newer stuff (and we're still
pretty conservative).
BR,

2016-11-20 11:15 [PATCH] gzclose_r() and gzclose_w() are not available in older versions of zlib such as the version on Ubuntu LTS 12.04. Changing to gzclose() allows notmuch to work on older versions as well Ico Doornekamp
