It looks like a very old way of doing things in test build file, there should be find_package(png REQUIRED) near the top.

Hi, did you resolve this?

In my Fedora 31, I solve the issue with these commands sudo mkdir /usr/include/libpng sudo ln -s /usr/include/libpng16/png.h /usr/include/libpng/png.h since the CMAKE script looks for the png.h in libpng, and the folder libpng doesn't exist.
