Hi, I haven't really look into the source but perhaps the build log has answered your question :) (or not?)
In the build log, there are three suspicious lines: CFLAGS = -g -std=c99 -pedantic -Wall -I. -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -DVERSION="0.2" -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600 LDFLAGS = -g -L/usr/lib -lc -lm -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXft -lfontconfig -lX11 -lpng CC = gcc It seems the paths are hard-coded (It is my guess), so it works in Debian only because of luck. I suppose if the libraries were installed into `/usr/local', which is permitted by the FHS, then the build system won't able to find it. I think the way to fix it is to add an additional phase to patch the build system.
