Description:
------------
Currently PHP does not use pkg-config to determine the location of freetype2 
header files. Instead it looks for freetype.h in a set of dirs. On e.g multilib 
systems this causes ./configure to fail when using --with-freetype-dir

pkg-config --cflags freetype2                                                                                                                                                                                                           
-I/usr/lib64/freetype2/include/freetype2 -I/usr/lib64/freetype2/include 

And header files like:
/usr/lib64/freetype2/include/ft2build.h
/usr/lib64/freetype2/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h

referencing my duplicate #66259, pkg-config or freetype-config are flexible options.  here, they produce different results:

	pkg-config --cflags --libs freetype2
		-I/usr/include/freetype2  -lfreetype  

	freetype-config --cflags --libs
		-I/usr/include/freetype2
		-lfreetype -lz -lpng15


a quick workaround @ php config-time, changing both

	perl -pi -e 's|(FREETYPE2_INC_DIR)=.*|$1=\$i/include|g'               ./configure
	perl -pi -e 's|freetype2/freetype/freetype.h|freetype2/freetype.h|g'  ./configure

and

	export CPPFLAGS="`pkg-config --cflags freetype2`"

which 'fixes' missing incorrect path references in GD ext, allows config & build to complete.

Solution in bug #66328 by Rafael Rocha Vidaurri

SOLUTION:
Let's search for the file on both directories replacing (on PHP "configure" file):
if test -f "$i/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h"; then

For:
if test -f "$i/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h" || test -f "$i/include/freetype2/freetype.h";  then


Bye ;)
