Re: Setting zlib path when compiling on Windows

[Michał Janiszewski <janisozaur%gmail.com@localhost>]

I'm not sure what your compiler is, but we have created a vcpkg recipe for a bit older version of libzip (pre-1.3.0, as 1.3.0 includes some of our fixes upstream).

See https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/pull/1305 we specifically needed static build and it's done there.

you have two options:
1) manually copy the relevant headers from the root zlib directory to
the out-of-tree build directory
2) copy only the zconf.h to the root zlib directory

then decide which location to pass to libzip's cmake command - root or build.
but the issue itself should be reported at zlib, i would say.
