Title: FreeType configuration problem
Submitter: Drazen Kacar

Subsys: Build/Installation
Version: 1.8.1
System: *-*-
Severity: minor
Problem:
I have FreeType 1 and FreeType 2 installed on the system. FT 1 include files are in /usr/local/include/freetype. FT 2 include files are in /usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype. Those directories are the defaults for the respective packages.

The problem is that you're not not using "freetype-config --cflags" to get the include path. In the end configure manages to find FT 1 includes and FT 2 library, which isn't a combination that will work.

I know I can use --with-freetypeincludedir or CPPFLAGS to set the include path explicitely, but this shouldn't be necessary with FT 2 because the package comes with freetype-config utility.
