Why does the configuration fail when freetype is not found ?

configure: error: Could not find freetype! configure exiting with result code 1


When we try to install freetype we find it is already installed

$ brew install freetype
Error: freetype-2.5.3_1 already installed

To install this version, first brew unlink freetype

Solutuon: since it is already installed we configure like this:

$ bash configure –with-freetype-include=/usr/X11/include/freetype2 –with-freetype-lib=/usr/X11/lib

A new configuration has been successfully created in

[OpenJDK sourcesfolder]/jdk9/build/macosx-x86_64-normal-server-release

using configure arguments

–with-freetype-include=/usr/X11/include/freetype2 –with-freetype-lib=/usr/X11/lib
