cmake中的zlib的設置方法----Target "xxxxx" links to target "ZLIB::ZLIB" but the target was not found

問題：

  AUTOGEN: No valid Qt version found for target opencv_opencl.  AUTOMOC,
  AUTOUIC and AUTORCC disabled.  Consider adding:

    find_package(Qt<QTVERSION> COMPONENTS Widgets)

  to your CMakeLists.txt file.
This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

CMake Error at AppNLP/CMakeLists.txt:255 (add_executable):
  Target "xxxxxxx" 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?

D:\AwsOneDriver\aStudioLk\AeolusPterosaurPlat\AppNLP\CMakeLists.txt:255: error: Target "appNLP_my" 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?

:-1: error: Failed to compute build system.

當前的makefile寫法：

find_package(ZLIB )
include_directories( "D:/win10/aspDep/zlib1211/x64/include")
link_directories( "D:/win10/aspDep/zlib1211/x64/lib")
ADD_DEFINITIONS (${ZLIB_DEFINITIONS})

問題的解決辦法：

set( ZLIB_ROOT    "D:/win10/aspDep/zlib1211/x64" )
find_package(ZLIB )
include_directories( "D:/win10/aspDep/zlib1211/x64/include")
link_directories( "D:/win10/aspDep/zlib1211/x64/lib")
ADD_DEFINITIONS (${ZLIB_DEFINITIONS})

是的，只需要加一行代碼即可。

問題總結：

出現這個問題的原因不是由於protobuf庫是否靜態庫，也不是由於zlib庫是否靜態庫，而僅僅是因為沒有找到zlib的根目錄，由此導致找不到zlib的一些定義。
