zlib installed but not found while building

A Former User

I get this error while running cmake .. -DBUILD_WITH_QT6=ON

-- Configuring done
CMake Error at src/CMakeLists.txt:1068 (add_library):
  Target "strawberry_lib" links to target "ZLIB::ZLIB" but the target was not
  found.  Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an IMPORTED target, or
  an ALIAS target is missing?

I have zlib and all the other requirements installed. Does anybody know how to solve this error? Thanks

This seem like a bug with your systems cmake files. Something is adding zlib::zlib, but the target isn't set. Protobuf is probably what's linking to zlib.
Try adding find_package(ZLIB REQUIRED), or manually adding Protobuf_LIBRARIES to the cmake command as a workaround.

@jonas Thanks, that worked!

This seem like a bug with your systems cmake files.

I'm not sure how that happened. I'm using unmodified src code.
