When compiling Wine on 64-bit Kubuntu 6.06LTS (using the instructions found at http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit#head-56206e8bc74083807ffe06ccb471d3f964cb...) I received a spurious error regarding freetype-config:
configure: WARNING: Your system appears to have the FreeType 2 runtime libraries configure: WARNING: installed, but 'freetype-config' is not in your PATH. Install configure: WARNING: the freetype-devel package (or its equivalent on your distribution) configure: WARNING: to enable Wine to use TrueType fonts.
configure: WARNING: FreeType is missing. configure: WARNING: Fonts will not be built. Dialog text may be invisible or unaligned.
Everything seems to work fine after I compile it though. The fonts display perfectly.
I also had to modify the .configure script. The unicode-related section directs it to use the libraries in /usr/lib (whereas I needed it to be using /usr/lib32). If you don't modify this section, make will fail when it tries to link the 64-bit versions.
Other than these two minor annoyances, it compiles quite well on 64-bit.
