VisIt explicitly configures zlib through
-DVISIT_ZLIB_DIR.In EESSI, zlib is filtered as an EasyBuild dependency because it is provided by the compatibility layer. As a result, the VisIt configure step can fail to locate zlib:
Add a VisIt-specific pre-configure hook that, when
zlibis a filtered dependency, ensures-DVISIT_ZLIB_DIRpoints to${EESSI_EPREFIX}/usr.If
-DVISIT_ZLIB_DIRis already present inconfigopts, its value is replaced. If it is not present, the option is added.Required for EESSI/software-layer#1525
