Missing zlib.h in CMake built directory

[donmor]

I created build directory outsides the source dir and executed cmake /path/to/zlib then make zlibstatic there. Then I found there's no zlib.h in the build directory.

hi donmor,

This is expected behavior, the headers don't need to be there after build, only after installing the library. So, if you do:

cd /path/to/zlib
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install/zlib
cmake --build .
cmake --install .

then /path/to/install/zlib will have the proper folder structure with both binary and headers.
