@EstebanDugueperoux2 Hello 👋 Thank you for taking the time to address this issue.

Unfortunately, we don't have minizip-ng:mz_compatibility=True available in ConanCenter, it's False by default: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/blob/master/recipes/minizip-ng/all/conanfile.py#L39. The result will be a missing package error when building it in the CI, and users should expect the same when installing Assimp.

As a workaround, you can use replace-requires in your Conan profile:

[replace_requires]
minizip/*: minizip-ng/4.0.7

[options]
minizip-ng/*:mz_compatibility=True

The CMake target name is a bit more complicated, you will need to keep that change in the Assimp recipe, as it affects what is expected by that project. I just checked locally if you could use a conanfile.py with CMakeDeps.set_property to override the cmake_target_name without changing the Assimpt recipe, but it did not work.
