Heads up, apparent change in MacPorts borks jdk9 build on Mac

[Magnus Ihse Bursie]

You seem to have gotten a mismatch due to several versions of freetype 
installed.

The output from the build is:

> In file included from /Users/dr2chase/work/jdk9/jdk/src/share/native/sun/font/freetypeScaler.c:34:
> /usr/X11/include/ft2build.h:56:38: warning: freetype/config/ftheader.h: No such file or directory
which indicates that you are using freetype from /usr/X11/include. This 
is likely what configure will autodetect. If you check the configure 
output, what does it say about freetype?

That seems unlikely that it should have picked that up by itself. Did 
you set --with-freetype at any point? Do you have any configure logs 
from the old build?

Using the --with-freetype option is the preferred mode, instead of 
modifying system files.

Nevertheless, I'm curious if configure really did pick up freetype 
automatically in the /opt/local system before, but not now. It might be 
due to pkg-config.

Can you try running "pkg-config --cflags freetype2" and post the output? 
If you have access to a machine without this change in packaging, can 
you try the same command there?
