I need Wine under Vista, best under Cygwin emulator.
Unfortunately when I do "./configure" for "Wine" I
receive the following messages in configure.log:
(...)
configure:14772: gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2
conftest.c -lfreetype -L/usr/local/lib -lfreetype -lz
>&5
configure:14779: $? = 0
configure:14805: result: not found
configure:15179: error: FreeType development files
not found. Fonts will not be built.
Use the --without-freetype option if you really want
this.

I don't know why it can't find freetype. When I
compile my own "prog.c" I receive no error after:
gcc -o prog.exe -g -O2
prog.c -lfreetype -L/usr/local/lib -lfreetype -lzs

I will appreciate help and also suggestion where to
look for support about it.

My reason for Wine under Cygwin under Vista is that
I have one application for Windows which needs 96DPI
fonts (standard). Unfortunately I permanently run
Vista having 120DPI (large) fonts. So my application
does not work correctly with 120DPI fonts. It is
simple app and I suppose it would run under Wine.

Vista 32 Home Premium Box, Cygwin 1.5.25-15, Wine
1.1.21.

Mark

I can't help with the problem; I'm just curious: WHY?

Jesus Christ, I'm an idiot. Nevermind.

I have just found information that there was Wine
version for Windows (!) on the official website. It
is no longer available there. So I would like to ask
you kindly if someone could share it for a moment so
I could download. I need it for personal use as I
described in the first post. My email is user72 at
gazeta dot pl.

Maybe try on an official Wine mailing list -- there is more traffic there
