trying to configure with --enable-libfreetype :-

It throws error ERROR: freetype2 not found ...

Can you let me know the reason.. i had also attached config.log

Thanks

This is a persistent problem.

I explained this problem months ago...

    https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2013-November/151405.html

to which a dirt simple fix was suggested...

    https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2013-November/151406.html

And... Lots of discussion + no fix...

The problem is freetype changed their directory structure + ffmpeg
(as of git pull few minutes ago) still seems to look for the old
directory structure.

In my build script, I scrape ffmpeg's configure script + if ffmpeg is
broken (still looking for old directory structure) I add a symlink
to fix the problem.

You can also, just do this manually once + forget it... Try this...

    ln -sf /opt/local/include/freetype2 /opt/local/include/freetype2/freetype

I'm using MacPorts so /opt/local is the prefix I use. You can discover your
prefix (if you're running a Linux/Unix distro) by...

    locate ft2build.h

or...

    locate freetype.h
