So I reported it to Red Hat on: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1162842
Their response was: You were probably not able to install libpng without zlib, but of course you were able to install libpng and libpng-devel without zlib-devel - but this is pretty much expected. Guidelines are even stricter, explicit requirements for library packages are forbidden ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Explicit_Requires - Red Hat Enterprise Linux follows Fedora packaging guidelines with just very few exceptions ).
So, would you guys please consider putting the dependency in yourself, so as to keep the next poor sod who is trying to ./configure wine from going out of his mind and to keep you guys from having to endlessly answer this question over on the forums
zlib is a libpng dependency, not a Wine one. If Red Hat developers consider that as not a bug, that's not a bug for Wine either way.
Hi Dmitry,
I never said it was a bug. I asked you to make it an "Enhancement" to be kind to the next poor sod trying to compiling Wine and getting this weird/bogus/nonsensical error. And to cut down on the poor guys on the forum that have to constantly answer this question for other poor sods.
I am asking for this "Enhancement" to be kind to others.
