Welcome Marko!

Freetype 2 is only used in ttf2llf tool and it should be optional.
Off the top of my head I can't say how it is detected or controlled, but LibreCAD builds fine without freetype2. It is somewhere in the qmake project files and a manual path can be set by custom.pri iirc.

ttf2lff is our font converter and I recently published a test site at https://librecad.org/ttf2lff/ where ttf2lff is triggered with an upload form. The converted LFF file can then be downloaded there.
So basically there is no need to build this tool and you must not necessarily struggle with it.
