      Building Qt v5.2.0 will fail in a Windows environment when configure.exe is
      invoked with "-system-freetype". However "-system-libpng" works fine.

      The error message indicates multiple unresolved references to FreeType's
      funtions, eg.:

      qbasicfontdatabase.obj : error LNK2019: Verweis auf nicht aufgelöstes externes Symbol "_imp_FT_New_Memory_Face" in Funktion ""public: static class QStringList_cdecl QBasicFontDatabase::addTTFile(class QByteArray const &,class QByteArrayconst &)" (?addTTFile@QBasicFontDatabase@@SA?AVQStringList@@AEBVQByteArray@@0@Z)".

      I assume the freetype2.lib is not added to LIBS or an invalid linkage is
      specified.
