Then there must be something weird,
did you clean-up your build tree before testing?

You may try in a fresh new pristine build tree.

Would you be able to try the attached project and replace the

set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH "/home/erk/TestZlib/installed")
with an appropriate value for your config.

You must start from a fresh new build tree.

I'll try to answer that separately.
Beware not to drop the CMake ML address.
