The common paradigm is to first build below src/, and to then link via src/Makevars to the static library you just built. I don't have a real go-to example of a package that does this but you could look into the BioConductor package RGBL (which builds Boost Graph first) and/or the nloptr package (which, if need be, downloads nlopt and builds it; my contribution there was the other part of finding / using a libnlopt if on the system). I wondered about this when CRANberries told me about your package. I guess you can't assume the Zstandard library to be present? Maybe one day the hybrid approach of nloptr may work for you.
