I am in trouble.
I am on macOS Mojave (last version) and get a blocking error on trying to start Wine 5.0. (today's version)
Code: Select all
Wine cannot find the FreeType font library. To enable Wine to
use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than
or equal to 2.0.5.

XQuartz with the brew method.
Code: Select all
brew install --cask xquartz
Code: Select all
brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
brew install --cask --no-quarantine (selected wine package)
(an example for a valid syntax would have been helpful)
So i decided to use the downloaded Installer for "Wine Stable 5.0" .pkg and ran the installation without errors.
But as soon as I started an .exe e.g. PasswordSafe.exe I got above mentioned error.
That seems related to a rogue install of XQuartz, according to my net findings.
So i reinstalled XQuartz using the .pkg provided.
But that did not help still the same error.
(under http://www.freetype.org I can't find any install for macOS at all)
How can I get out of that pit?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you!
