Hello,

Compiling the release tarball of freetype 2.6.5 along with freetype-demos 2.6.5
seems to have worked fine. Thanks!

Hi,
Please try the released tarball of 2.6.5, instead of the git snapshot. If you
really really want to try the git snapshot for 2.6.5, you should gather the
versions when 2.6.5 was developed. According to
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/blob/VER-2-6-5/autogen.sh ,
automake 1.10.1, libtool 2.2.4 and autoconf 2.62. Although I don't have a nice
crystal ball, I guess your autoconf is too new to handle the files written for
2.62.
