can't compile wine on 64 bit ubuntu
ubuntu, wine
Solution
`libfreetype6-dev` is the package that I needed. The issue is that this package installs the header files needed for the compilation in `/usr/include/freetype2` but the `configure` script is looking for the headers in `/usr/include/freetype` . So the solution I found was to add a symbolic link in `/usr/include` that points to `/usr/include/freetype2` that is called `freetype`. This can be done in the terminal like this.
sudo ln -s /usr/include/freetype2 /usr/include/freetype
Problem
I have been trying to compile wine on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit and I can't for the life of me figure out what package dependency I'm missing here. I followed along with the guide on winehq and was able to complete it fine... however now I'm trying to compile a patched version of wine so I can run starcraft 2 with better performance. When I run ./configure i get the following error ``` checking for freetype/freetype.h... no checking for freetype/ftglyph.h... no checking for freetype/fttypes.h... no checking for freetype/tttables.h... no checking for freetype/ftsnames.h... no checking for freetype/ttnameid.h... no checking for freetype/ftoutln.h... no checking for freetype/ftwinfnt.h... no checking for freetype/ftmodapi.h... no checking for freetype/ftlcdfil.h... no checking for FT_TrueTypeEngineType... no configure: error: FreeType 32-bit development files not found. Fonts will not be built. Use the --without-freetype option if you really want this. ``` I've tried installing `libfreetype6-dev:i386` and `libfreetype6:i386` and many other variations but always get the same error message after `./configure` . any ideas?
