wine-1.4 fails configure checking for -lfreetype

[rbrown]

Following on from issue #14535

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.

Would work if superenv could be used. Problem seems to be that the include path needs to have /opt/X11/include/freetype2 added.

[adamv]

Worked on Lion; I don't have Mountain Lion to test with.

[mxcl]

I built with stdenv on 10.8 like yesterday. So don't get the b0rk.

[rodrigo-g-amaral]

Same problem here on Mountain Lion.

[kyuki]

I tried... on 10.8.1&Homebew 0.9.3
"brew install wine --use-gcc"

Error!!

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.

"brew unlink freetype" & "brew install wine --use-gcc"
No Error.

[jacknagel]

So it would appear that Homebrew's non-universal freetype is getting in the way of XQuartz's universal freetype here.

[kyuki]

I see ...

file /opt/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib

/opt/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/opt/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (for architecture i386): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
/opt/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64

brew install freetype --universal
file /usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.4.10/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib

/usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.4.10/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib: Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64

It seems that universal option is invalid on OSX 10.8.1.

[paxswill]

Echoing @kyuki, the --universal option does nothing on 10.8.1. As a kinda brutish work-around, unlinking freetype for the build process worked, but that's just a workaround until a better fix is done.

[daviewales]

@kyuki and @paxswill, (admittedly a month later) I found that unlinking freetype didn't work, but uninstalling then reinstalling freetype with --universal did work. (I typed brew install --universal freetype, as opposed to brew install freetype --universal, but I don't think that should make a difference...)

[meermanr]

@daviewales, uninstalling and then (re)installing freetype with brew install --universal freetype did the trick for me on 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion), thanks for sharing!

[daviewales]

Awesome!

[rodrigoSyscop]

remove and install with --universal works for me too. (in Moutain Lion).

[kenorb]

Installed with --universal on 10.6.8,
Have it here:

$ file /opt/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
/opt/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/opt/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (for architecture i386):   Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
/opt/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64

But still I've the error:
configure: error: FreeType 32-bit development files not found. Fonts will not be built.

Any solution available?

Some additional info for devs:

$ sh -x ./configure
...
++ pkg-config --cflags freetype2
+ ac_freetype_incl=
++ pkg-config --libs freetype2
+ ac_freetype_libs=
+ ac_freetype_libs=-lfreetype
+ printf '%s\n' 'configure:10620: checking for -lfreetype'
+ printf %s 'checking for -lfreetype... '
checking for -lfreetype... + false
+ ac_check_soname_save_LIBS=
+ LIBS='-lfreetype -lfreetype '
...

$ pkg-config --debug --cflags freetype2
Package freetype2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `freetype2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'freetype2' found

$ pkg-config --debug --libs freetype2
Package freetype2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `freetype2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'freetype2' found

$ ll /usr/lib/pkgconfig /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig | grep freetype
(none)

[kenorb]

Solution (workaround):

$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/freetype/*/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc

Verify by:

 $ pkg-config --cflags freetype2

Problem:

• pc file is not linked up during install, so pkg-config doesn't know about the new package

[hale]

For what it's worth, I didn't get a warning about freetype not being built with the --universal option (I did get that warning for other packages, though).

brew uninstall freetype && brew install --universal freetype fixed things.

[msoulier]

I just hit this today.

Warning: Clang currently miscompiles some parts of Wine. If you have gcc, you
can get a more stable build with:
brew install wine --use-gcc
==> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/wine/1.4.1 --with-coreaudio --with-op
checking for gphoto2-camera.h... no
checking for cmsOpenProfileFromFile in -llcms... no
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.

READ THIS: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/troubleshooting

Shouldn't this be automagickal by now? I had to search on the error to find
this issue and figure out what to do.

[Michael4824]

Getting same error, tried "brew uninstall freetype && brew install --universal freetype", but no success.

==> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/wine/1.7.5 --disable-win16 --without-mpg123
checking for lcms2.h... yes
checking for cmsOpenProfileFromFile in -llcms2... no
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.

On Mavericks 10.9. Any idea? Been banging my head against the wall on this.

[daviewales]

@Michael4824 Have you double checked to make sure that freetype has been linked properly? Try brew unlink freetype && brew link freetype.

[daviewales]

Try this:

brew remove freetype && brew remove libpng
then
brew install freetype

[Michael4824]

brew unlink freetype && brew link freetype

Didn't work. Same thing.

    brew remove freetype && brew remove libpng
then
    brew install freetype

Received the error "Error: wine dependency libpng not installed with: --universal"
So I ran "brew uninstall freetype" then "brew install freetype --universal". However, same error.

[Michael4824]

Figured it out. Using find, I found and deleted all the freetype files on my machine. Works great now. Thanks for the help.

[jamis]

I tried all of the above, with no luck. I finally resorted to going into the cellar and making a symlink in freetype's include directory, so that a "freetype" directory existed and pointed at "freetype2". Then, I did "brew unlink freetype && brew link freetype". And then, like magic, the wine install succeeded.
