I'm not subscribed to the dev list so I've copied this message to the user
list.

I pulled changes from the git repo and configured the build. This are the
results:

checking for ft2build.h... no
configure: error: *** Unable to locate FreeType includes.

That library is found in /usr/include/freetype2/ft2build.h

[rshepard at baetis ~/gis/grass/grass_dev]$ time make
include/Make/Vars.make:1: include/Make/Platform.make: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'include/Make/Platform.make'.  Stop.

I read another message this morning about the same missing rule for
Platform.make was reported on Scientific Linux.

Neither of these two errors have previously occurred here (on
Slackware-14.2/x86_64) with the same configuration file.

Advice appreciated,

Rich
