I'm trying to install mplayer with OSD using homebrew. I've added both --enable-menu and --with-freetype-config=/usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.4.10/freetype-config to the brew recipe.

For freetype-config I've tried three seperate paths; /usr/X11R6/bin/freetype-config, /usr/X11/bin/freetype-config and the one in Cellar.

Checking for freetype always fails:

Checking for freetype >= 2.0.9 ... no
Checking for fontconfig ... no (FreeType support needed)

Although freetype itself seems to be installed.

mufasa:bin eythor$ freetype-config --version
15.0.9
mufasa:bin eythor$ freetype-config --ftversion
2.4.10
mufasa:bin eythor$ freetype-config --libs
-L/usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.4.10/lib -lfreetype -lz -lbz2
mufasa:bin eythor$ freetype-config --cflags
-I/usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.4.10/include/freetype2 -          I/usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.4.10/include

I'm not sure what to try next or how to figure out why freetype isn't recognized.

Can anyone point me in a sensible direction?
