-Subject: [PATCH] fix install without static libzmq
-
-If libzmq is only available as a shared library and not a static one
-then cmake fails with:
-
--- CMake libzmq package not found, trying again with pkg-config (normal install of zeromq)
--- Found PkgConfig: /home/fabrice/buildroot/output/host/bin/pkg-config (found version "0.28")
-CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:20 (message):
-  ZeroMQ was not found, neither as a CMake package nor via pkg-config
-
-This is due to the fact that ZeroMQ_FOUND is not set to ON even if
-ZEROMQ_LIBRARY is TRUE:
-
-if(ZeroMQ_LIBRARY AND ZeroMQ_STATIC_LIBRARY)
-    set(ZeroMQ_FOUND ON)
-endif()
-
-So change AND by OR as suggested in
-https://github.com/zeromq/cppzmq/issues/266
-
-Fix #266
