I have again modified config.make by hand to mak eit use /usr/local 
instead of /usr/openwin. Now it finds freetype.h, but the other errors 
remain.

...
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/share/src/core/back/Source/xlib'
Making all for subproject xlib...
 Compiling file XGFont.m ...
In file included from ../../Headers/xlib/XGGState.h:36,
                 from XGFont.m:40:
/usr/local/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:62: error: parse error before 
"_XftFTlibrary"
/usr/local/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:96: error: parse error before "FT_UInt"
/usr/local/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:99: error: parse error before '}' token
/usr/local/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:103: error: parse error before 
"FT_UInt"
...

The missing types FT_Library, FT_UInt,... are defined in 
/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/fttypes.h. I have no idea where 
this file is imported. I tried to add

        #include <fttypes.h>

to Xft.h but this did not make a difference. Hints are greatly 
appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Regards,
