------- Additional Comments From thestig@google.com 2007-27-02 12:04 ------- Peto,
The user manual does not list any specific dependencies because the list would be too long. If you look on http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages or http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Fonts, they all mention fontforge as a requirement to compile wine. Furthermore, when you run wine's ./configure, it will give a warning if you do not have fontforge installed.
So as Louis previously mentioned, if installing fontforge solved your problem, can we close this bug?
