Already fixed in the CVS. It's a documentation bug: you need a newer GNU make version. See bug #23648.

Looks like the freetype2 build scripts always use prefix=/usr/local no matter what --prefix argument you passed to configure, unless you also pass the differing prefix to both "make" and "make install" (prefix=/...).

The wrong prefix also ends up in the lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc file, thus causing all builds that depend on freetype2 to fail as well.

Reproduced with freetype-2.3.7.
