Problems (and fix) when compiling CVS on 64-bit Kubuntu (erroneous freetype-config message) - wine-devel

6 Aug 2006


      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.
