Comment:

 Afaict, this is not how FFmpeg's configure script works:
 --enable-filter=drawtext normally has no meaning because it is the default
 (drawtext will be enabled if the dependencies are fulfilled and it was not
 disabled), but since drawtext depends on an external library (like the
 flashsv decoder or the matroska demuxer), it will only be compiled if
 --enable-libfreetype was added as an option.

 Note that the following works as expected / is needed if you want the
 drawtext filter:
 $ ./configure --disable-filters --enable-libfreetype --enable-
 filter=drawtext
