Description
Hello,
When installing ffmpeg on OS X 10.9, ffmpeg configuration fails and the port isn't installed, as the freetype2 header "freetype/freetype.h" isn't found. The fundamental issue may be with the freetype2 installation.
A successful workaround is to add a symlink after freetype2 installation so that ffmpeg's configure script can find it. Then install ffmpeg.
ln -s /opt/local/include/freetype2 /opt/local/include/freetype

Same issue on 10.8 and ffmpeg @2.1.1_0+gpl2+nonfree. Tried a clean + uninstall, but no change.

It's an incompatibility with freetype 2.5.1. I can look into it in a few hours.

Same issue on 10.6.8 with ffmpeg-2.1.1_0+gpl2+nonfree
The soft link work around works for me.

It's a convoluted configure script that I don't know the best way to fix. The configure script check is doing this:
#include <ft2build.h> #include <freetype/freetype.h>
whereas freetype wants you to do this:
#include <ft2build.h> #include FT_FREETYPE_H
and the ffmpeg configure script isn't set up to do that kind of thing. The first step is probably to report the problem to the developers and see what they say. And then there's a wrong #include in ./libavfilter/vf_drawtext.c which can probably just be removed. That should be all, hopefully.

I've been working on this also.
I've reported this upstream (ffmpeg-devel) with a similar temp fix.
This fix involves changing configure (is odd ways) + source files for DrawText filter, so best do the temp fix for now.
A better temp fix may be...
ln -sf /opt/local/include/freetype2 /opt/local/include/freetype2/freetype
as this replicates the previous freetype directory structure.

This relates to the recent freetype-2.5.1 update where freetype-2.5.x seems to have changed the include directory hierarchy.

Yes. See #41593.

Fixed in r114100. This works for us, but is not suitable for upstream, because this change makes ffmpeg require freetype 2.5.1 or newer.
