Here're relevant lines from the log:
...
-- Could NOT find ZLIB (missing: ZLIB_LIBRARY) (found version "1.2.11")
...
CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
ZLIB_LIBRARY
...
//Path to a library.
ZLIB_LIBRARY_DEBUG:FILEPATH=ZLIB_LIBRARY_DEBUG-NOTFOUND

//Path to a library.
ZLIB_LIBRARY_RELEASE:FILEPATH=ZLIB_LIBRARY_RELEASE-NOTFOUND
...

note that zlib detection is part of cmake, not something we've changed,
so it's could be caused by a change in your build environment.
