Currently, SDL2_ttf's configure script uses freetype-config to find the freetype libs and cflags. The problem is that it doesn't have a flag like pkg-config's --static to distinguish between static and dynamic builds, so it always gives you the libs needed for static linking, which means you overlink in the dynamic case.

Using 'pkg-config {--libs,--cflags} freetype2' if available would avoid this problem.

Also, I'm pretty sure SDL2_ttf.pc needs to list freetype2 in its Requires: line so that 'pkg-config --libs --static SDL2_ttf' works properly.

Created attachment 3395 [details]
Patch for configure.in to use pkg-config for freetype2

This patch removes the reliance on freetype-config which has been removed from freetype2 and instead uses pkg-config instead.

Fixed configury to use both pkg-config, and also freetype-config in
case it's not available.
