Your Xft.h does not include freetype/freetype.h. Indeed, Seems that
you use a very recent XFree. In 4.4.0-rc2 Xft.h, the freetype are
included as:

#include FT_FREETYPE_H

and not as

#include <freetype/freetype.h>


FT_FREETYPE_H is defined in freetype/config/ftheader.h which is
included (here) by Xft.h via ft2build.h. Seems that some old version
of ft has no ft2build.h. Maybe 2 versions of freetype2 are installed
on your machine (typically, one under /usr and an other one under
/usr/X11R6) and this leads to various problems. You may try to use the
--with-freetype-prefix= or the --with-freetype-exec-prefix= options to
configure so that the good freetype2 includes are used.
