When setting the tag to v1.3 (https://github.com/madler/zlib/tree/v1.3) other issues arise, potentially related to the fact that we submodule minizip?

Corresponding issue on zlib repo: madler/zlib#915

[ekantik1]

madler/zlib#915 is closed as the changes made to develop branch. how to pick up the change here to fix this issue?

[NorbertEff]

I was able to compile with the tag set to develop as a workaround.

It is an error in zlib's current CMake in their master branch. You can delete your temporary build files and try using:

cmake -S . -B build -DZLIB_TAG=develop
