My message already got an answer [2] which advises to use `pkg-config`.

        IMO you should use pkg-config or freetype-config instead, e.g.:

        INCLUDES ?= `pkg-config --cflags freetype2`

        or better, instead of using INCLUDES at all:

        FREETYPE_CFLAGS ?= `pkg-config --cflags freetype2`
        CFLAGS += $(FREETYPE_CFLAGS)

        This will work in most environments.


Thanks,

Paul
