You probably need to add the zlib library to your link commands with -lz or the equivalent in your Cmake file. See the following:

I have add below line in my cmakelists.txt，but still has this error;
target_link_libraries( ${TARGET} z)

I have resolve my question。

the problem is :

I install two toolchain , one is for imx6, the other is for imx8m。 they both has zlib ,but diffrent version。

1、when I build libxlsxwriter.a, I add absolute path into cmakelists.txt in line 221:

set(ZLIB_ROOT "/opt/fsl-imx-x11/4.1.15-2.1.0/sysroots/cortexa7hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib")

find_package(ZLIB "1.0" REQUIRED)
list(APPEND LXW_PRIVATE_INCLUDE_DIRS ${ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS})
message("zlib version: " ${ZLIB_VERSION})

2、when I build my project , I add below line in my cmakelists.txt:
target_link_libraries( ${TARGET} z)
