Hi Dick,

let me start with a preliminary question: Do you remember the date of your
last successful build?

To start diagnosing the problem please look into the directory Work/libs/gd:

In the file config.log there ought to be "... checking for FT_Init_FreeType"
followed by the failing command, error messages from that command, and a
listing of the failing program.

Can you explain the failure from these error messages?

Further down in the same file there ought to be
   FREETYPE2_INCLUDES='`cat .../libs/freetype2/ft-includes`'
   FREETYPE2_LIBS='`cat .../libs/freetype2/ft-libs`'
refering to files in Work/libs/freetype2, and
   ...
   LIBPNG_INCLUDES='...'
   LIBPNG_LIBS='...'
   ...
   ZLIB_INCLUDES='...'
   ZLIB_LIBS='...'
with values (content of files) that are used to compose the failing command.

Are all these values/contents reasonable?

Next look into Work/libs/freetype2:

There should be an executable script ft-install/bin/freetype-config and
   ft-install/bin/freetype-config --cflags
resp
   ft-install/bin/freetype-config --libtool
should produce the content of ft-includes and ft-libs.

Any problems here?
