How to fix missing ZLIB_LIBRARY and ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR cmake error on Windows

Install ZLIB

Download ZLIB for Windows from Sourceforge and install it on your Windows machine. Works with x86/x64

Find ZLIB install directory

Currently, the ZLIB installer from Sourceforge (above) installs in C:/Program Files (x86)/GnuWin32.

Setup cmake-gui variables

Run cmake-gui to open the cmake gui and choose your source and build directories. Check Abvanced and ckeck if ZLIB_LIBRARY or ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR have entries in the left column. If the entry is not a directory, replace whatever is in the right hand column with the directory you found in step 2 and append /bin to the end of the ZLIB_LIBRARY and append /include to the ZLIB_INCLJDE_DIR directory. It should look something like this.

Hope this helps!
