The current usage of the CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR variable causes build breaks
when compiling zlib in a subdirectory of the CMake tree. Instead of
using CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR, we can use PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR to represent the
root directory of where the ZLIB cmake project was declared.

Note, this removes the need to special case include directories for
MSVC.

I would have used CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR instead of PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR but other than that I also recommend to merge this simple PR, because it fixes long standing build problems with the add_subdirectory case and does not break the "build-alone" case.

wantehchang added a commit to wantehchang/zlib that referenced this pull request May 25, 2023
When zlib is built via an add_subdirectory() call, ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}
is the source directory of the parent project. Use
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} instead to refer to the source directory of
the zlib project.

Remove a redundant include_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}) call
in the if(MSVC) block.

Note: This pull request is essentially the same as
madler#471. The only difference is to use
MAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR instead of PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR.

Hi schultetwin1,

I came up with the changes in this pull request (plus the change Bagira80 suggested) independently. I just uploaded #818. If you make the change Bagira80 suggested, I will abandon my pull request.

Thanks,
Wan-Teh
