Olivier Smeesters commented on AVRO-1543:
-----------------------------------------
As I was trying to integrate Avro in a cross compilation, where zlib is not
immediately available, I'm linking against a boost build where iostreams'
compression is disabled, so I needed the same from Avro. I patched the
CMakeLists.txt and the DataFile code to make the codec as optional as snappy.
> libboost_zlib library is not detected but is required

> Key: AVRO-1543
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1543
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: c++
> Affects Versions: 1.7.6
> Environment: Windows?
> Reporter: Sean Middleditch
> Assignee: Thiruvalluvan M. G.
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.10.0
>
>
> Standard builds of Boost with the iostreams library and zlib support build
> two separate libraries, libboost_iostreams and libboost_zlib. Avro is
> properly setup to detect and link in the former but not the later, meaning
> that Avro cannot be build out of the box without customizing either the Boost
> build or Avro's CMakeLists.txt.
> Another alternative change may be to remove Avro's hard requirement on zlib
> support in Boost's iostreams library, especially as stand-alone Boost builds
> will not include zlib support. Avro could either require its own flag for
> zlib support (being explicit is good, so this would be good) or detect if
> Boost was compiled with zlib support during CMake generation time. If Avro
> does not do either of these, it needs to be updated to link in libboost_zlib.
