Pheew I have finally been able to install it, I probably should detail how I overcame most of the errors I came across while trying to install it.
Using zlib: after downloading the file from their official website,
then go to the folder from cmd
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:
Couldn't find bzip2, to correct this, install the bzip2 directly from the website, It installs in programfiles x86, then point bzip to it from the cmake gui, this corrects the error.
From Karchive, to build or install it, after running the instructions as detailed in the guide, I ran into an error
error C2061: syntax error: identifier 'mode_t'
to overcome this, I opened the cmake gui and changed the directory of every qt file from mingw to msvc, Ensure that you are using an msvc of 32 bit and not win_rt to avoid complications in the future., then rerun the instructions as in the guide i.e
cmake .. -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:;C:5.2.0\5.2.0\msvc2017;C:;C:2
nmake install
This got the job done for me, hope it helps someone out too.
Thanks to everyone who helped out.
