Darwine build without freetype

I'm having a bit of trouble implementing the "--without-freetype" option in creating my own Darwine build (notably, so I can bypass the OpenGL problem). How do I implement the option?

Code: Select all

./configure --without-freetype

However keep in mind that most likely will break all text in Wine.

On the side not, why do you think it's related to OpenGL problem? And what kind of problem?

Let me clarify that statement: I am compiling a build of Darwine to bypass the OpenGL issue (in that X11 seems to have OGL disabled with the Darwine binaries). The "--without-freetype" option is simply because I can't find a way to merge the create_darwine_distrib.sh with freetype, and the documentation is not there on the Wiki.

Just compile freetype normally with a ./configure; make; sudo make
install process and Wine will detect it just fine. You don't need to
compile freetype every time you update wine.

Well, that's the thing: I did do a ./configure of fontforge (which I'm assuming includes freetype) and make && make install, and wine still can't detect the freetype. Maybe some other suggestions or perhaps point out what I am missing here would be helpful. (If freetype is something other than fontforge, feel free to point that out. I'm still not used to this).

Freetype is something different then fontforge. You can find FreeType
at http://www.freetype.org/ .
