The Makefile doesn't do proper substitutions in freetype-config file. When doing: ./configure --includedir='${libdir}'/foo the files are installed properly yet freetype-config reads: prefix=/usr exec_prefix=${prefix} exec_prefix_set=no includedir=${libdir}/foo libdir=/usr/lib64 which obviously doesn't work. Could someone upstream that, please? Savannah scares me away.
Ok, reported it myself.
This one's not needed anymore, and was fixed upstream anyway.
