As of freetype-2.9.1 the freetype-config file no longer gets installed by default.

See also the corresponding upstream commit:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/?id=a7833f26c4ac45cafe1dffdcd7f7dcfd6493161c

There a handy autotools macro for pkg-config which can be used to find freetype:

PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(FREETYPE, freetype2,, AC_MSG_ERROR([Cannot find freetype]))

And then you can access cflags and libs with

$FREETYPE_CFLAGS
$FREETYPE_LIBS
