Zlib errors when compiling.

[Aex12]

I downloaded zlib-1.2.11 from its official website and compiled it. I referenced zlib with:

-DZLIB_LIBRARY=/usr/local/zlib/lib/ -DZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/zlib/include/

but I'm getting this error:

[ 64%] Built target tdclient
[ 64%] Linking CXX executable generate_json
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
td/generate/CMakeFiles/generate_json.dir/build.make:123: recipe for target 'td/generate/generate_json' failed
make[2]: *** [td/generate/generate_json] Error 1
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:916: recipe for target 'td/generate/CMakeFiles/generate_json.dir/all' failed
make[1]: *** [td/generate/CMakeFiles/generate_json.dir/all] Error 2
Makefile:138: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

If I reference source with -DZLIB_LIBRARY=/home/aex12/srcs/zlib-1.2.11/ I get a different error on same step

[ 64%] Linking CXX static library libtdclient.a

You should specify full path to the prebuilt library:
cmake -DZLIB_LIBRARY=/usr/local/zlib/lib/libz.so ..

If it will not help could you try to apply patch
zlib.txt
and recompile with it?

@Aex12 Have you succeeded in TDLib compilation?

Despite lack of feedback, the issue should be fixed in TDLib 1.2.0.
