[Wine Bugs]

           Summary: AC_CHECK_LIB not recognizing FreeType on Kubuntu AMD64
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: wine at eternaldusk.com


Compiling Wine on my Kubuntu AMD64 system produces the following Warning/Error:

--------------------
configure: WARNING: Your system appears to have the FreeType 2 runtime libraries
configure: WARNING: installed, but 'freetype-config' is not in your PATH. Install
configure: WARNING: the freetype-devel package (or its equivalent on your
distribution)
configure: WARNING: to enable Wine to use TrueType fonts.

configure: WARNING: FreeType is missing.
configure: WARNING: Fonts will not be built. Dialog text may be invisible or
unaligned.

Configure finished.  Do 'make depend && make' to compile Wine.
--------------------

I do not get the error if I compile it in a 32-bit chroot.  When ignoring the
warning and compiling 64-bit, everything other than fonts in some apps seems to
run fine.

I did some digging into configure.ac and found the cause of the warning:

---------------------
checking for freetype-config... freetype-config
checking for FT_Init_FreeType in -lfreetype... no
******************* JJL - ft_lib = no, FREETYPELIBS=-L/usr/local/lib -Wl,--rpath

---------------------

Apparently the AC_CHECK_LIB call for FT_Init_FreeType is failing

As you can see:  Not only do I have FreeType2 (which seems to work fine
compiling every other app that needs it), I even upgraded from the latest CVS to
see if it corrected the problem.  It didn't.

I know almost nothing of autotools/autoconf.   Is this a bug in the 64-bit
AC_CHECK_LIB, or could there something wrong with the parameters being passed to
it that would still work on 32-bit?

Here's how the output of freetype-config --cflags and --lib varies between my
32-bit chroot and my 64-bit environments:

32-bit:
------------
evil at pluto:~$ freetype-config --cflags
-I/usr/include/freetype2
evil at pluto:~$ freetype-config --libs
-lfreetype -lz

64-bit:
-----------
evil at pluto:~$ freetype-config --cflags
-I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include
evil at pluto:~$ freetype-config --libs
-L/usr/local/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib -lfreetype -lz

I'm wondering if all that extra stuff in the libs variable is messing with
AC_CHECK_LIB's results.  I tried to override the libraries myself, but I have
another problem in that whenever I make changes to configure.ac and run
"autoconf configure.ac > configure", I get a lot of SED errors like this:

   ...
   config.status: creating dlls/ws2_32/tests/Makefile
   sed: file ./confstattYvqXN/subs-4.sed line 14: unterminated `s' command
   config.status: creating dlls/wsock32/Makefile
   sed: file ./confstattYvqXN/subs-4.sed line 14: unterminated `s' command
   ...

I'm guessing there's a parameter that I'm unaware of that I need to be using on
the autoconf command.
