Error: FreeType 32-bit Rocky Linux

Post by wine4work »

Hi,
I'm working on Rocky Linux trying to compile wine and i'm getting this error:

Code: Select all

configure: error: FreeType 32-bit development files not found. Fonts will not be built.
But if i try installing, system says i allready have freetype-2.9.1-9.el8.i686 installed.
Could someone tell me a workarround for this? Thanks in advance.

Configure needs the freetype-devel (freetype-devel-2.9.1-9.el8.i686) package.

So if it's still giving the same or similar error, it is looking for a package and not finding it. It's probably either looking in the wrong place or you need to install it. As always, logs help a lot to pin-point issues.

Give a look at config.log to see if there is more info there. You can also look for a freetype2.pc file, see its content, look if everything seems correct.

Thanks for the replies, ended up doing as log said and run without freetype, can't find the package.

Hi, maybe this will help:

Code: Select all

apt-cache search freetype
It should list any packages with a similar name. But if you already got it working, I wouldn't bother.

I am having the same problem on Rocky 8, even though I installed the freetype-devel.i686 rpm it still complains, so I go without...
