I had problems while compiling librdkafka in VS2017 both in GUI and CLI. Part of the problem was due to the zlib nuget packages depending on the PlatformToolSet v140 which was referenced in a number of issues like #2816 and #2731. This could be avoided by replacing the package with the zlib_native package which has a zlib version of v.1.2.11. It may also address the issue #2934.
The linked OpenSSL library names also needed to be updated to reflect the library names in the latest version 1.1.1h.
