Important note: Qt 5.13.x, 5.14.0, 5.14.1, and 5.14.2 has a bug which will cause all your CMake projects to fail the configure to find the "Qt5::Zlib" module. To fix this annoying bug, you need to modify the "qtbase/mkspecs/features/data/cmake/Qt5BasicConfig.cmake.in" file and apply this patch before to configure the Qt. A build script below has this patch embedded.
