For building with cmake at least version 3.12 (minizip 3.12) is needed
In most cases the usual
cmake -S . -B build -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
will create everything you need, however if you want something off default you can adjust several options fit your needs. Every option is list below (excluding the cmake-standard options), they can be set via cmake-gui or on cmdline with
-D<option>=ON/OFF
ZLIB-options with defaults
ZLIB_BUILD_TESTING=ON -- Enable Zlib Examples as tests
ZLIB_BUILD_SHARED=ON -- Enable building zlib shared library
ZLIB_BUILD_STATIC=ON -- Enable building zlib static library
ZLIB_BUILD_MINIZIP=ON -- Enable building libminizip contrib library
If this option is turned on, additional options are available from minizip (see below)
ZLIB_INSTALL=ON -- Enable installation of zlib
ZLIB_PREFIX=OFF -- prefix for all types and library functions, see zconf.h.in
ZLIB_INSTALL_COMPAT_DLL=ON -- Install a copy as zlib1.dll
This option is only on windows available and may/will be turned off and removed somewhen in the future.
If you rely cmake for finding and using zlib, this can be turned off, as zlib1.dll
will never be used.
minizip-options with defaults
MINIZIP_BUILD_SHARED=ON -- Enable building minizip shared library
MINIZIP_BUILD_STATIC=ON -- Enable building minizip static library
MINIZIP_BUILD_TESTING=ON -- Enable testing of minizip
MINIZIP_ENABLE_BZIP2=ON -- Build minizip withj bzip2 support
A usable installation of bzip2 is needed or config will fail. Turn this option of in this case.
MINIZIP_INSTALL=ON -- Enable installation of minizip
MINIZIP_INSTALL_COMPAT_DLL=ON -- Install a copy as libminizip-1.dll
This option is only available on mingw as they tend to name this lib different. Maybe this will also be removed in the future as. If you rely cmake for finding and using zlib, this can be turned off, as the other file will never be used.
Using the libs
To pull in what you need it's enough to just write
find_package(ZLIB CONFIG)
or
find_package(minizip CONFIG)
in your CMakeLists.txt, however it is advised to specify what you really want via:
find_package(ZLIB CONFIG COMPONENTS shared static REQUIRED)
or
find_package(minizip CONFIG COMPONENTS shared static REQUIRED)
As it's possible to only build the shared or the static lib, you can make sure that everything you need is found. If no COMPONENTS are requested, everything that is found will satisfy your request. If the libraries are optional in you project, you can omit the REQUIRED and check yourself if the targets you want to link against are created.
When you search for minizip, it will search zlib for you, so only one of both is needed.
Imported targets
When found the following targets are created for you:
ZLIB::ZLIB and ZLIB::ZLIBSTATIC -- for zlib
MINIZIP::minizip and MINIZIP::minizipstatic -- for minizip
