It seems libpng, libz( or libz2) are missing, while I have installed all of them. Can anyone help out?

[FinleyPan]

Solved by add

find_package(PNG REQUIRED) 
find_package(BZIP2 REQUIRED)
find_package(ZLIB REQUIRED)

in CMakeLists.txt of home directory then add

${PNG_LIBRARY}
  ${ZLIB_LIBRARY}
  ${BZIP2_LIBRARY}

in target_link_libraries in CMakeLists.txt of subdirectory demo. Finally cmake it again.

Can you make a PR for that fix?

[FinleyPan]

sorry for my late reply, I have done a PR.
