You don't give sufficient information to make any conclusions.  Which
FreeType version?  Have you tried current git of FreeType?  How
*exactly* did you compile?  How *exactly* do you link?  Have you tried
to compile and link a very simple, single demo file for testing
purposes?

Have you looked up other programs that use cmake and link with
FreeType?  For example, you could install MacPorts and check how other
programs link to FreeType.
