and so most likely freetype-devel or however the devel package is called on
Ubuntu in not installed, it's nothing new that people add -enable-*** but
don't install development packages

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freetype
libfreetype6-dev: FreeType 2 font engine, development files

2.2.5 is from 2014-07-15

http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commitdiff;h=cea5812fa723c08b89d929eeba73462e05de2973
is from 2013-12-06
