 What is your X11_TYPE? If you're intending to use native X, make sure
 it's set that way ("native") and make sure you've updated/rebuilt
 x11-links recently.

 You ought to get /usr/pkg/share/x11-links/include/freetype2/ft2build.h,
 a link that points to /usr/X11R7/include/freetype2/ft2build.h.

 If the x11-links build fails to find freetype2, or thinks it shouldn't
 be used, that's the problem and we should debug why...

 Nothing. No /etc/mk.conf exists during my pkgsrc builds.

 Yes, I'm always using native X, but I was under the impression that this is
 the default, when X11_TYPE is undefined. Also reading doc/pkgsrc.txt makes
 me think so.

 Nevertheless, I tried with X11_TYPE=native in /etc/mk.conf now, but there is
 no difference.

 It's still missing on my 7.1-stable macppc system.

 But... surprisingly it works as you say on a 6.1.5 amd64 system! I made some
 tests today, using the same pkgsrc-2017Q1. The freetype2 directory and also
 the library links do exist there.

 I made a comparison between the output of both systems, building x11-links.
 You find the output attached.

 Here is the difference. On the amd64 there are two additional lines, which
 probably fix something:

 => Fixes wrong module version in freetype2.pc
 WARNING: [subst.mk:fx-ft2-pc-version] Ignoring non-existent file
 "/usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/x11-links/work/.x11-buildlink/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc".

 Now I don't know whether the different architecture or the different NetBSD
 version causes this fix on my iBook G4 to fail.

 Thanks in advance!

 This and the issue in pkg/53007 look to be the same thing.

 Either bl3 or x11-links is doing something bogus. and messing things
 up, as outside pkgsrc the compile (in 53007 anyway) just works.

 So, that apparently comes from freetype2's builtin.mk.

 When some builtin.mk fails to do its thing, the first thing to check is:
    % make show-var VARNAME=IS_BUILTIN.freetype2
    % make show-var VARNAME=USE_BUILTIN.freetype2

 (from pkgtools/x11-links, after making clean if necessary)

 If IS_BUILTIN is no, then the question is why it's not finding it; if
 USE_BUILTIN is no, the question is why it's rejecting it.

 Also, check to make sure that X11BASE is set correctly...

 "no"

 Good question. Any ideas how to debug that further?

 I'm not sure how to do that. I have never set X11BASE on any NetBSD system
 in the past when compiling pkgsrc. And I always use the built-in Xorg, not
 the pkgsrc one.

 It is almost always a giant pain.

 (1) Check the value of BUILTIN_PKG.freetype2, which includes the
 version that builtin.mk thinks it's found. Compare this to
 BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.freetype2. If it's too low, you need to figure
 out if that's a real problem (in which case you effectively can't use
 the native version, but pkgsrc ought to build the pkgsrc version for
 you, and I'm not sure why that's not happening) or if builtin.mk is
 generating rubbish. On current I get freetype2-2.6.3 and in cairo at
 least the requirement is >= 2.4.5.

 (2) Check if freetype2 appears in FORCED_PKGSRC, which is the list of
 packages for which the builtin version is itself ok but the package
 depends on something that needs to come from pkgsrc. If it's in there,
 the variable FORCED_PKGSRC_REASONS (which I added recently and may not
 be in the stable branch, I forget) will tell you which package
 triggered it. This shouldn't be happening because freetype2 doesn't
 depend on anything but zlib, but...

 (3) Make sure PREFER.freetype2 didn't somehow get set to "pkgsrc".

 AFAICR that should cover the possibilities...

 make show-var VARNAME=X11BASE

 if you haven't done anything it should be /usr/X11R7, but if for some
 reason it's not that would explain a lot of weirdness.

 BTW, it looks like the pkgconfig fixup thing you mentioned earlier is
 failing only because x11-links isn't providing the freetype2 links,
 and if we can fix that it should resolve itself.

 freetype2-2.4.3


 >  Compare this to BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.freetype2.

 It emits three results:
 freetype2>=2.4.5 freetype2>=2.1.3 freetype2>=2.1.3

 Can I find out where the first dependency is coming from?


 >  If it's too low, you need to figure out if that's a real problem

 The first one, "freetype2>=2.4.5", would be a real problem, I guess?

 Hmm.  This is a 7.1_STABLE system and pkgsrc is 2017Q1. I don't remember
 when 7.1 was released, but I wouldn't think that it is much too old for
 2017Q1.

 No. There's nothing.

 It is "native".

 Correct. That's the case.
