LD can't find libraries when building with cmake

Question

For my thesis work I will have to work with a project that was created with cmake. Therefore, I installed cmake on my PopOS! 21.04 laptop.

cmake --version
cmake version 3.21.3

dpkg doesn't find it though (I had build cmake myself, can I add it to dpkg somehow).

    dpkg -l cmake
    ||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description
    +++-==============-============-============- 
   ===============================>
    un  cmake          <none>       <none>       (no description 
    available)`

So I went ahead and downloaded the source code and extracted it on my Desktop. Inside the root source folder I entered:

mkdir build
cd build
sudo cmake ..
sudo cmake --build . --config Release --target install

which works until I get this:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXrandr /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXinerama /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfontconfig /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXrandr /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXinerama /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfontconfig collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status gmake[2]: *** [EnvironmentSimulator/Libraries/esminiLib/CMakeFiles/esminiLib.dir/build.make:122: EnvironmentSimulator/Libraries/esminiLib/libesminiLib.so] Error 1 gmake[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:584: EnvironmentSimulator/Libraries/esminiLib/CMakeFiles/esminiLib.dir/all] Error 2 gmake: *** [Makefile:136: all] Error 2

For me it looks like ld cannot find the libraries, if I look if xrandr is in /usr/bin/ it is. I tried linking it with a LD_PATH sth which didnt work and writing to the ld config file.

So now I don't know what else I can try.
