I found this issue when trying to build in debug mode with msvc and it not being able to link to the internal zlib.
To replicate in a MSVC Developer command prompt and a clean build dir run
I get this error
zlib's cmake script is setting
CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX
to "d" with msvc. The lib name should bezlibstaticd.lib
in debug. The current scripts don't take the "d" into account.There might be a better way fix this. I couldn't figure out a way in cmake to override this behavior without modifying zlib. I ended up going with setting the additional
IMPORTED_LOCATION_DEBUG
property instead. I also tried those fancy generator expressions but they didn't appear to work with theIMPORTED_LOCATION
property.
