It appears you are builing natively for Linux with GCC

The way to read errors in your build chain is typically from the top down; find the first thing marked "error" and fix that.

In this case, the first error is:

CMake Error at cocos2d/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:136 (message):

Could NOT find GLFW3 (missing: GLFW3_LIBRARIES GLFW3_INCLUDE_DIR)

and right above it the very helpful:

-- package 'glfw3' not found

So, it seems that what you're building requires this glfw3, and it can't find it.

I'm guessing that it's this: http://www.glfw.org/

You should check that you have that. If you don't, download it and install it appropriately for your system (which may, depending on what OS you're running, be as easy as finding it in your package manager), and try again.
