I have a few packages in my overlay that link to cpp-httplib via CMake but with 0.20.0 this message appears in CMake output: CMake Error at /usr/lib64/cmake/httplib/httplibTargets.cmake:70 (set_target_properties): The link interface of target "httplib::httplib" contains: zstd::libzstd but the target was not found. Possible reasons include: * There is a typo in the target name. * A find_package call is missing for an IMPORTED target. * An ALIAS target is missing. Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/lib64/cmake/httplib/httplibConfig.cmake:91 (include) CMakeModules/Findhttplib.cmake:7 (find_package) CMakeLists.txt:341 (find_package) The error is caused by this call: set_target_properties(httplib::httplib PROPERTIES INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS "\$<\$<BOOL:OFF>:CPPHTTPLIB_NO_EXCEPTIONS>;\$<\$<BOOL:>:CPPHTTPLIB_BROTLI_SUPPORT>;\$<\$<BOOL:TRUE>:CPPHTTPLIB_ZLIB_SUPPORT>;\$<\$<BOOL:TRUE>:CPPHTTPLIB_ZSTD_SUPPORT>;\$<\$<BOOL:TRUE>:CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT>;\$<\$<AND:\$<PLATFORM_ID:Darwin>,\$<BOOL:TRUE>,\$<BOOL:ON>>:CPPHTTPLIB_USE_CERTS_FROM_MACOSX_KEYCHAIN>" INTERFACE_COMPILE_FEATURES "cxx_std_11" INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "${_IMPORT_PREFIX}/include" INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES "Threads::Threads;\$<\$<PLATFORM_ID:Windows>:ws2_32>;\$<\$<PLATFORM_ID:Windows>:crypt32>;\$<\$<AND:\$<PLATFORM_ID:Darwin>,\$<BOOL:TRUE>,\$<BOOL:ON>>:-framework CoreFoundation -framework Security>;\$<\$<BOOL:>:Brotli::common>;\$<\$<BOOL:>:Brotli::encoder>;\$<\$<BOOL:>:Brotli::decoder>;\$<\$<BOOL:TRUE>:ZLIB::ZLIB>;\$<\$<BOOL:TRUE>:zstd::libzstd>;\$<\$<BOOL:TRUE>:OpenSSL::SSL>;\$<\$<BOOL:TRUE>:OpenSSL::Crypto>" INTERFACE_SOURCES "${_IMPORT_PREFIX}/include/httplib.h" INTERFACE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "include" ) specifically "...$<\$<BOOL:TRUE>:zstd::libzstd>;...". While I can patch CMakeModules/Findhttplib.cmake it's still a failure to have the ability to set USE=zstd and have it not be usable with CMake from another library.

I ran into the same issue as well, when trying to fix up the guru-ebuild for net-im/nheko. For this I added a Findzstd.cmake file to the ebuild, which works, but results in this httplib check failing. I'm not sure how to properly handle that, I suspect the proper solution would be to have a global Findzstd.cmake file provided by the app-arch/zstd ebuild, which is comparable to how other distros usually handle it. There is a related bug #872254, which also references the zstd upstream bugreport.
It really needs to fallback to pkg_check_modules.
I opened https://github.com/yhirose/cpp-httplib/pull/2126 with that fallback
