Hi,
I ran into the same trap over here (latest XF4).
The suggested fix is not general enough:

I suppose that "freetype-config" utility comes with the stand-alone
freetype2 library from ports/print/freetype2,
but XFree86 4.0.3, which is also a source for libfreetype.6,
does not come with a freetype-config utility and if it would,
it would probably put its into ${X11BASE}/bin.
I can think of these solutions:
1. have ports/graphics/gd/Makefile find out the full path where
libfreetype.6 is installed, use the prefix of this
path (/usr/X11.., /usr/local.., ..) to look for the includes
as well
or
2. add a freetype-config script to XF4 port
(and change ${LOCALBASE}/bin/freetype-config into plain freetype-config,
hoping the right one is in PATH)
RFC:
This "foo-config" script technique seems to be popular with the
Linux/GTK bunch.
I once asked Havoc about it and he responded:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/inti/2000-q4/msg00014.html
Thus the generalisation is a generic "pkg-config" command
with a repository of options in "${SOME_PREFIX}/lib/pkg-config/*.pc".
We could write a BSD "pkg_config" config command which retrieves
such information from
/var/db/<lib-name>/+CONFIG
where +CONFIG holds the gcc options to link against the
library.
Regards,
Marc
