Attempted on Mac OS High Sierra

[LucasMW]

This is the result of
$ cmake .

liblcf was built from git

Did you just build liblcf (i.e. no installation)?, because it seems to me that the path to the config file is from the git checkout, not installation folder.
Also, how did you setup the paths?

[LucasMW]

At liblcf directory the step 'sudo make install' fails

[carstene1ns]

You do not need to install it system-wide, you can also do locally (with "prefix").
Just needs to set the same path for Editor build then.

[LucasMW]

How should I do that?
I have a folder called easyRPG.
Everything I cloned from easyRPG is subdirectory.
eg:
easyRPG$ ls
Editor Player RTP liblcf

[carstene1ns]

You need to use -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path>. In the following asciicast I built a static liblcf, so I do not need to mess with shared library load paths afterwards (-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF).
Important is that the Editor build finds liblcf in the right location
(in my case -- Found liblcf: /tmp/easyrpg/lib64/liblcf.a (found version "0.5.4").

I've tried what you showed me, however, I keep getting this:

Question is, where does tmp/easyrpg/lib come from? Note that I used /tmp folder in my asciicast as arbitrary directory, which you likely should replace with your /Users/lmenezes/Cloned_From_Github/easyRPG/ folder.

Clean your cmake caches in every project and try again:

rm -rf CMakeFiles
rm -f CMakeCache.txt

I still think you are doing something wrong, but I cannot guess. It is really not easy to help you when you only provide small bits of information. Would be good when you provide the exact commands you enter.

Also, you can simply drag/drop the CMakeCache.txt from the build folders here, they provide most necessary information.

[100%] Built target EasyRPG_Editor_exe
Thank you, now it worked.
It appears I had bad configuration leftovers from in my cmake files.
Cleaning it with
rm -rf CMakeFiles
rm -f CMakeCache.txt
helped a lot.

[carstene1ns]

Great that you got it to work. Closing then.
