Note

If you are new with Conan, we recommend to read the section how to consume packages.
If you need additional assistance, please ask a question in the Conan Center Index repository.

Simplest use case consuming this recipe and assuming CMake as your local build tool:

conanfile.txt

[requires]
zlib/1.3
[generators]
CMakeDeps
CMakeToolchain
[layout]
cmake_layout

Now, you can run this Conan command to locally install (and build if necessary) this recipe and its dependencies (if any):

$ conan install conanfile.txt --build=missing

Useful information to take into account to consume this library:

These are the main declared targets:

CMake package name(s): ZLIB
CMake target name(s): ZLIB::ZLIB

pkg-config file name(s): zlib.pc

A simple use case using the CMake file name and the global target:

# ...
find_package(ZLIB REQUIRED)
# ...
target_link_libraries(YOUR_TARGET ZLIB::ZLIB)

These are all the available headers. Some of these ones might be non-public; make sure of it by visiting the zlib homepage listed above:

#include "zconf.h"
#include "zlib.h"
