Please follow the instructions in INSTALL.UNIX to install FreeType on Mac OS X. Since Mac OS X 10.5, when environment variable MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is not given, Apple's diversion of gcc configures the conditional macros to Mac OS X 10.5 and newer. If you want to use the built binaries on older platforms, you must set the variable to the lowest system you care. For example, if you are working on Bourne shell, export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.0 or, if you are working on C shell, setenv MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 10.0 makes gcc to configure the conditional macros to 10.0-capable values. For classic Mac OS (Mac OS 7, 8, 9) please refer to builds/mac/README.
