When linking with freerdp3 in a Yocto build, I get: | CMake Error at /home/marc/mnt/build/test-machine/tmp/work/zen2-eko-linux/freerdp3/3.17.2/recipe-sysroot/usr/lib/cmake/cJSON/cjson.cmake:85 (message): | The imported target "cjson" references the file | | "/usr/lib/libcjson.so.1.7.18" | | but this file does not exist.

The issue comes from the hard-coded "/usr/lib/libcjson.so.1.7.18" path. When cross-compiling, we link against the cross-compiled libraries from the sysroot and not from the local build machine. Changing: - CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_LIBDIR - CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_INCLUDEDIR - CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_BINDIR to their _relative_ alternatives fixes the issue for me.

The issue comes from the hard-coded "/usr/lib/libcjson.so.1.7.18" path. When cross-compiling, we link against the cross-compiled libraries from the sysroot and not from the local build machine.
Changing:
to their relative alternatives fixes the issue for me.
