How to install lfreetype using wine?

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 39095 / 2 Years ago, thu, june 23, 2022, 6:26:37

I am using Ubuntu 11.10 64bit and trying to install wine 1.5, using this method:

Install Wine on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev gobject* libxrender-dev libfontconfig-dev pthread* libpthread-stubs0-dev xext* libsm-dev

and copy the following commands in the Terminal:

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-1.5.0.tar.bz2

tar -xjvf wine-1.5.0.tar.bz2

cd wine-1.5.0

Install some packages:

sudo apt-get install flex bison qt3-dev-tools qt4-qmake

./configure

cd tools

./wineinstall

All goes well, but at the end, I get this error message:

checking for -lfreetype... not found

configure: error: FreeType 32-bit development files not found. Fonts will not be built. 

Use the --without-freetype option if you really want this.

Does anyone know how to install lfreetype?
