The error you get is a linker error because you don't link against the freetype library.

To get the lib files, you either have to download the binaries from the freetype website (last available version is 2.35), or you compile the library yourself from the source version you already downloaded (use cmake for this). Instructions on how to compile can be found in the README and in docs/INSTALL.
