Re: 4979: wine 9.11 make fails on AMD64, more info

[David Anderson]

I just installed kubuntu 6.06 on a new laptop (no binary avail), AMD64.

Compiling wine failed as 4979 says, no libfreetype.so that is
compatible.

The problem is not in the -L or in gcc or in wine.

The problem is in the m32 libfreetype. 
/usr/lib32 is searched (as /usr/lib/../lib32) by gcc automatically with
-m32.

The libfreetype developer(s) provided
libfreetype.so.6.3.8 and 
link
libfreetype.so.6 ->libfreetype.so.6.3.8

However they forgot to create the symlink

  libfreetype.so -> libfreetype.so.6

Create this by hand in /usr/lib32 and regrettably wine still will not
build
as  4 externs are left unresolved: inflate, inflateReset,inflateEnd,
inflateInit2.

This appears to also be a libfreetype issue.  It's been reported several
times in various contexts, google for 'libfreetype inflate' to see them.

I don't have a solution, sorry.

Looks like a missing NEEDED libz.so.1 in the libfreetype.so.6.

Add -lz to the link lined.

Ciao, Marcus

I forgot to mention it, but the DT_NEEDED for libz.so does
exist in libfreetype.so.6.   

Adding 
export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib32" 
before building helps.   (-rpath-link would also work for linking, 
but I prefer
to get that rpath recorded in the resulting binary, thus I use -rpath).

The WineOn64bit web page suggests (in the Debian
advice)  creating symlinks from libfreetype.so
and libz.so to libfreetype.so.6 and libz.so.1 respectively.
(in the /usr/lib32 directory).
These are also essential.   Very helpful web page.

AFAIK I have just one remaining problem on AMD64 laptop running 
kubuntu : a missing Font library set, noticed at configure time.
Won't get a chance to deal with that today.
A couple days ago I incautiously installed something on the laptop
that killed X server.  I reinstalled from scratch and will be much
more careful now...  And keep better records of what I install!
