configure under cygwin can't find freetype

[David Gerard]

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.

Look in configure.log for more details. Most of the time it needs some other lib that's missing.
