The freetype source lib in CVS is *NOT* the one used for comitting the 
libs for Os X.
the sources are not used on Os X builds.

the one used is 2.1.9. I had no problems with freetype, but FTGL needs 
means it is
hard to compile it from source in blender.

bFTGL is compiled against the builded lib only. There is some manual 
work involved
as the version of freetype-config available on Os X dont work, and FTGL 
rely on it, so you
must trick it.

  So i have no problem to have the sources in CVS (both from freetype 
and bftgl), but i
dont use (cant) them in a normal build, and use the pre-builded libs 
provided in CVS.

This means that on Os X, you must not enable compiling from the sources.

tackling the issue  with freetype-config (which caused 2 months of 
international build not working
just before 2.35 ) is on my toDo list, but i have no clue on how doing 
it without manual work
(which i do when needed).
