You should use cmake-gui or ccmake.
There you find the option WXART2D_USE_FREETYPE.
If you compiled freetype in its location in thirdparty dir, it should find it.
If the option is not set true/1, it will not search for it.
Also first delete the cache file of cmake, to start the configure from scratch.
Maybe the names of the mingw libraries are called different for freetype.
packages/wxart2d/share/wxwidgets/FindFreetype.cmake
Is doing the search, for
NAMES freetype242.lib freetype242_D.lib freetype242MT.lib freetype242MT_D.lib
on windows, how or they called in the mingw case??
You can always put MESSAGE( ${whatevervar} ), in FindFreetype.cmake in order to
see what is going on.
The top CmakeLists.txt file in wxart2d package searches it here:
set( FREETYPE_DIR ${THIRDPARTY_PATH}/freetype-2.4.2 )
All in all, option( WXART2D_USE_FREETYPE "Enable Freetype text module" ON )
is default on, and it looks like it find half of freetype (headers), but does
not find the libs.
Don't set those dir vars yourself, just the option must be set. IF that does
not work we need to
correct it.
And clear the cache in cmake-gui.
