Numerous linking errors "undefined reference to `libXX_YY"

Question

I've been trying to compile an open-source C++ project Typesense, which has this list of dependencies:

• Snappy
• zlib
• OpenSSL (>=1.0.2)
• curl
• ICU
• brpc
• braft

Host and target OS is Debian Linux. Compilation is handled via cmake->make sequence of commands. I was able to install some of dependencies through a package manager (I believe they reside in /usr/lib then), the last two I had to compile on my own, I put them in /usr/local/lib.

All the dependencies were successfully compiled, and the target project compiled too.

When it comes to linking stage, I get numerous errors like

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.a(libcurl_la-easy.o): in function `global_init':

There is at least a hundred of such errors. I'm not at all proficient with Linux and complex building of projects. How do I possibly fix linking errors for libraries that I just downloaded through a package manager?
