Possibly I've failed to do something very simple. I'm attempting to compile Wine under Cygwin. I get this on both Windows 2000 and Windows XP: ... checking for -lfreetype... not found configure: error: FreeType development files not found. Fonts will not be built. Use the --without-freetype option if you really want this. Note that freetype-devel is installed, and source as well. Trying all reasonable options to --libdir= for ./configure doesn't detect it either. What precisely is configure.ac looking for? If it's looking for libfreetype.so, it's not getting it ... cygwin installs .a files. - d.
