--- Comment #7 from Todd Chester ToddAndMargo@zoho.com ---
The log I attached is 63084 lines long. There is a longer one? Oh my goodness!
You didn't attach any log?!
It said it did, but it is truly gone now. My current config.log has no errors in it, so I can not repost it. (I have it all figured out now, by the way.)
When you already know that its complaining because of missing zlib-devel, why don't you install it?
I did. I am complaining about the bad error reporting. I am not asking how to install it. I am asking for error that actually mean something.
For general help how to compile wine the forums or #winehq (on freenode) are more appropriate, it is only a bug in wine when the detection really fails although you have everything installed.
To reiterate. This bug is about the bad error reporting. Without the charity of others, I would have had to have intimate knowledge only the developers would have had to solve all the problems, which I did.
By the way, without actually solving the error, I would not have been able to report here what the error report said they where and what they actually where.
And, even thought I now have it running right, this bug still stands. It was never about seeking help. Others helped me on the forums, which is where I sought help. Please fix the reporting errors. Make the error report match the actual error.
Many thanks, -T
