So I've been playing around with Debian Testing. I'm still quite new to Linux, so you'll have to excuse my incompetence (maybe a "Testing" rolling release distro isn't best for a novice, but it's exactly what I want outside of a few issues here and there).
The version of wine in the repo's works well enough, but it's only version 1.4.1. I'm attempting to compile the source for the latest 1.7.0 release.
When I run...
Code: Select all
./configureHaving tried what it suggested, I found I probably don't really want this. Fonts seemed to be missing altogether. Scouring Google for answers, it seems I'm limited to installed a 32-bit operating system or something called a chroot (I'm struggling to find a modern writeup of what this is exactly and how to do it).configure: error: FreeType 32-bit development files not found. Fonts will not be built.
Use the --without-freetype option if you really want this.
The odd thing to me, is that the 1.4.1 version in the repository works without a hitch. How can that have what it needs, while this version compiled from the source doesn't?
Any advice is appreciated...!
