+Subject: [PATCH] CMakeLists.txt: fix version in zlib.pc when building
+ statically
+
+When building statically (i.e. with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF),
+ZLIB_FULL_VERSION is not set resulting in an empty version in zlib.pc
+and the following build failure with transmission:
+
+checking for ZLIB... configure: error: Package requirements (zlib >= 1.2.3) were not met:
+
+Package dependency requirement 'zlib >= 1.2.3' could not be satisfied.
+Package 'zlib' has version '', required version is '>= 1.2.3'
+
+Fixes:
+ - http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/b3b882482f517726e5c780ba4c37818bd379df82
