Wine compilation without fonts in CentOS 5.4

dehbr · Post by **dehbr** » Sun Apr 18, 2010 12:03 am

I'm new to Linux and am using CentOS 5.4 (RHEL) as distribution. I'm trying to compile the latest version of wine 1.1.43 to install the Full Tilt Poker. I compile, but with some errors in the shell. I install the Full Tilt Poker, but when I play, the fonts do not appear. Screens appear without something in writing. In Ubuntu the fonts appear normally, but with an install .deb. Could anyone help me? What should I do to play Full Tilt Poker in CentOS 5.4? Thank you.

Before or after compiling? I installed the fonts and restart xfs, but did not work. When I run the shell, come out thousands of lines written:

fixme: font: GetCharABRWidthsFloatw stub

And when I leave the program the following error appears:

fixme: font: WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx (L ". / Fonts / Univers-Condensed.otf", 10, (nill)): stub

fixme: font: WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx (L ". / Fonts / Univers-CondensedBold.otf", 10, (nill)): stub

What's wrong?

There are no reasons to use that distro for anything other then servers. It's at least 3+ years behind mainstream development. Use something specifically made for desktops (FC/Ubuntu/SuSE/etc).

The problem you are seeing most likely due to old freetype libraries.

So the problem is in the CentOS freetype be older than Ubuntu? I'll try Fedora, the problem that the time of his life is very short, with a release every 6 months ...

can't just update your freetype libraries?

Never checked myself, I only run CentOS on servers, never even tried Wine on it.

Yes, you can. The Freetype packages from Fedora 11/12 compile fine on
CentOS 5. There is an issue with compiling 32-bit Freetype RPMs on
x86_64, but the "mock" package builder can work around that by
building in a chroot.

I agree with vitamin, CentOS is not the best desktop OS. I personally
run 5.4 on my Linux desktop with Wine compiled from source, mostly for
version parity with my RHEL and CentOS servers. There are a lot of
dependencies to build if you want a fully-functional Wine (OpenAL,
updated GnuTLS & Freetype, etc.), but it's definitely doable.

That's the speed most open source projects moving with. It does take some effort to keep up. Of course if you want a "stable" platform prepare to live in the past.
