[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #39823] build failure on systems with older freetype library

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #39823 (project octave):

This was tested with freetype 2.2.1. I build and run Octave regularly on
RHEL5, among other systems. Yes, this is an ancient version.

If it's not worth keeping backwards compatibility, then we will just have to
disable freetype, which means disabling OpenGL graphics, right? That's fine,
but we still need a check in configure.ac to automatically detect that
freetype doesn't have the required functionality.
