    Fortunately enough, this one doesn't look like an error in a free
    software product ;-)

    http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-base_interface.html
    #FT_Get_First_Char
    http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-base_interface.html
    #FT_Get_Next_Char

    But you're right that the docs seems a bit outdated, as they don't say
    anything about the FT_Stream functions.

    Anyway, the build is catching an old copy of freetype that you should
    have around, somewhere.
    The usual culprit is xfree86, that includes an internal old copy of
    freetype for the core fonts support.
    Make sure the build catches the right freetype, and everything should
    build like a charm.

    Cheers,
