The syntax of find_package in CMakeLists.txt will result in failure while trying to find zlib :

 $ cmake -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE:BOOL=ON  ..
CMake Warning (dev) at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindZLIB.cmake:88 (message):
  ZLIB does not provide any COMPONENTS.  Calling

    find_package(ZLIB COMPONENTS ...)

  will always fail.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:222 (find_package)
This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):
  Could NOT find ZLIB (missing: 1.0) (found version "1.2.13")

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I used the following syntax :
