Do you mean the file 7z1604-lzip.tar.gz at 
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/7zip/ ?

This version of 7-Zip only has extract support for lzip, not compression 
support.

I'm afraid I don't know how to do that. The patch in the directory above 
is about the best I can do in these circumstances. A friend (who had 
never compiled a program and had to install Visual Studio 2015 just to 
compile this) compiled it for me. I do not have access to a windows 
machine with a compiler. This is why I asked help[1] to compile the 
above patch.

I hope Igor Pavlov decides to add lzip support to 7-Zip[2] so that I can 
forget about Windows GUI support.

No.
