jdk9 configure problem

Hi,
      I am getting the following error (below) while running configure 
on jdk9 (openjdk) on cygwin on windows7.
Should I download freetype & build it with VS(2013)?
If yes, then what are special build instructions.
If no then how to fix this.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*$sh configure --enable-debug**
*...
...
checking for FREETYPE... yes
configure: Found freetype using pkg-config, but ignoring since we can 
not bundle that
configure: error: Could not find freetype!
The freetype library can now be build during the configure process.
Download the freetype sources and unpack them into an arbitrary directory:

wget 
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-2.5.3.tar.gz
tar -xzf freetype-2.5.3.tar.gz

Then run configure with '--with-freetype-src=<freetype_src>'. This will
automatically build the freetype library into '<freetype_src>/lib64' for 
64-bit
builds or into '<freetype_src>/lib32' for 32-bit builds.
Afterwards you can always use 
'--with-freetype-include=<freetype_src>/include'
and '--with-freetype-lib=<freetype_src>/lib32|64' for other builds.

Please help.

regards
