No idea, except that there may be a bug in the libSDL_ttf.la file provided by Debian Wheezy. When trying to link with a library (apparently libsdl there), the GNU tools uses *.la files. These *.la files are text files that contain, among other things, path to the other *.la files that library depends on. This is a recursive process. So I think that the libSDL_ttf.la file points at /usr/lib/libfreetype.la, and you don't have this file. Either there is a missing package (the one that installs libfreetype.la inside /usr/lib), either the contents of libSDL_ttf.la is not valid. Here is the line in my own libSDL_ttf.la that points at 'libfreetype.la': --8<--- dependency_libs=' -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib/x86_64-linux- gnu/libfreetype.la -lz -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libSDL.la' --8<--- Compare with yours. Then fix your libSDL_ttf.la file, and recompile from scratch.
