make error z-lib related, on ubuntu 20.04 about ouinet HOT 4 OPEN

Hey @resession did you make sure to clone the ouinet repo recursively? The directory where it is looking for the zlib zip is actually a submodule, see here, so If you didn't clone recursively (or init submodules after the fact), then it won't be able to find all the files you need to build. Make sure to follow these instruction closely, https://github.com/equalitie/ouinet#cloning-the-source-tree

from ouinet.

i'll follow these instructions, i'll close out the issue if it works. thanks!

@paidforby yep, i tried that, and i also tried cloning it by itself.

i specifically made sure i cloned https://github.com/equalitie/i2pd.git in /ouinet/src/ouiservice/i2p, and i still get the same error

any other ideas what it might be?
