Hi Martin, Hadi, I did the same (checked my own config.log files) and observed the same think like Martin. But it seems that the checking for.. lines are only there for successful checks (look at other failed checks in config log). Nevertheless I agree that it is strange that there's no output at

I managed to get past this error using the following configuration line: ./configure --with-target-bits=64 --with-freetype-include=/usr/include/freetype2/ --with-freetype-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu It's good enough for us to be able to build, so I'll stick with it, but it seems the

It's a mystery. My own successful config.log snippet with latest jdk8u is below. Why didn't your config.log contain checking for FREETYPE? Maybe a pkg-config problem? Are you doing something crazy like defining LD_LIBRARY_PATH? Someone will need to debug configure, perhaps using bash -x
