CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:40 (find_package):
By not providing "FindlibprojectM.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project
has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
"libprojectM", but CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "libprojectM" with
any of the following names:

libprojectMConfig.cmake
libprojectm-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "libprojectM" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"libprojectM_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
"libprojectM" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
has been installed.

Many thanks in advance if you are able please to send me on the right path!.. a pathway full of milky drops and thangs.

This is only the frontend application, it doesn't contain the actual projectM core library. You have to build it separately, then point the build of frontend-sdl2 to the install location. I suggest checking out commit 62cecb3 of the core library, as this is the last one that works with the current state of this app (many API changes going on, that's why).

Build it according to the Wiki, and install it somewhere in your dev/home dir. No need to install system-wide. You can also choose to build the static library, so libprojectM will be embedded in your application.

After installing the built library, use -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/libprojectm/install in the frontend-sdl2 configuration command to point CMake to your local library. To use the static libprojectM library, also add -DPROJECTM_LINKAGE=static to the CMake parameters. Then it should work.
