as there are macros in freetype (that we use, and are enforced in 2.5)
which direct to the subdirectory as needed. In 2.5 the subdirectory
structure has changed so cmake cannot find it. I've posted a bug at
cmake, but given the lack of response from them re wxWidgets bugs I
don't imagine they will be quick to look into it. There may actually
be a name clash on windows with a freetype header file too caused by
the restructuring.

Hi Phil:

http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=14774 it appears the problem
had already been fixed in their development version but not released
yet.

So as the next step you should look at the dates of all the commits he
referred to and copy the blob from the latest of those into PLplot's
cmake/modules/FindFreeType.cmake (which will then supersede whatever
FindFreetype.cmake that comes with your CMake version) to see whether
that latest version works for you.

And we will proceed from there depending on what you report for that
experiment.
