The easiest way is probably to use a tool called CMakeSetup. You will
see all the configuration options there, and you can point it to the
right location. ZLIB_LIBRARY should point to the library file and
ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR to the directory where the zlib.h include file is.

Alternatively you can run use command line parameters:

cmake -DZLIB_LIBRARY:FILEPATH="C:/path/to/zlib/zlib.lib"
-DZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH="c:/path/to/zlib/include" .
