           Summary: Wine should use pkg-config --libs freetype2 instead of
                    freetype-config --libs
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: build-env
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: debian at carbon-project.org


Currently the Wine configure script uses freetype-config --libs to figure out
the flags needed for linking (freetype-config returns "-lfreetype -lz"). But
freetype-config returns the values needed for _static_ linking. Please use
pkg-config --libs freetype2 which gets it right and only reports "-lfreetype"
back.

This problem lead to e.g. <http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=1951> on 64
bit builds on Debian and its derivatives (and maybe others). And even though I
can work around this by having the 32 bit libz around in the build environment,
the better solution would be not to link needlessly against it.
