Thanks for your feedback.
The issue in my case was just that I missed to clean up some debugging code that I injected into an *.mk file while trying to track down the issue (awks). Ultimately, the hint from Kushal did it for me - as far as I can tell, libX11-devel was missing.
Thanks again for all the quick replies!

I run ftview and ftgrid quite regularly on fedora - they are in the "freetype-demo" package. If you are not too picky about using the latest versions, they'll do. Otherwise, actually trying to build the source rpm (use "dnf --srpm download freetype-demo" to get it) then "rpmbuild --rebuild " would probably tell you what fedora devel packages you are missing.
Also, you might need to be using "gnome classic" (it is a session option below your login prompt") to be using X11 programs. Again, installing gnome-classic-session will probably bring in everything you need, if you do not have x11 already. The default gnome shell is wayland - I don't use it as it does not work well on my hardware.
