It looks like the build system does not include /usr/include/freetype2 in the CFLAGS :

checking ft2build.h presence
g++ -E -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -I/usr/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-3.0 -I/usr/include/wx-3.0 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DWXUSINGDLL -D__WXGTK__ conftest.cpp
conftest.cpp:29:10: fatal error: ft2build.h: No such file or directory
 #include <ft2build.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

If it was using pkg-config everything would be fine:

$ pkg-config --cflags freetype2
-I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libpng16 -I/usr/include/harfbuzz -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include 

Options include patching ASC's build system to use pkg-config to find freetype2, or patching all includes to use <freetype2/ft2build.h>.

I have no more interest in this package and cannot spend more time on it, so feel free to adopt it!

Thanks for adding this! However, it doesn't seem to find ft2build.h, even though it's provided by the freetype package it depends on (/usr/include/freetype2/ft2build.h). "checking for freetype-config... no checking for FT_Init_FreeType in -lfreetype... yes checking ft2build.h usability... no checking ft2build.h presence... no checking for ft2build.h... no configure: error: ASC requires the FreeType2 library. If you have a distribution supplied FreeType2 package installed, perhaps the FreeType2-devel package is missing. If your distribution does not include the FreeType2 library, you can get it from http://www.freetype.org/"
