Download the Darwine Wine program and installed x11 on my mac. I have os X 10.4.11 When I try to run a windows program with Wine I get this message. 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. http://www.freetype.org Wine cannot find the FreeType font library.

I tried to fix the issue by downloading freetype but I don't know how to install freetype. I have the folder with all the files but I don't know what to do with it. I'm new to using wine and this is all very confusing. Can anyone please help me get this working or should I just forget about the whole thing. Would it help if I installed ubuntu linux instead? If I have to do install linux then i will need to know how to do that to [Crying or Very sad] I have a cd for it but not sure what to do after I have booted from the cd. If its possible could I just get this working in mac os. And is this at all possible since I have the older ppc mac. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What's the goal of installing Wine? Wine requires an x86 cpu in order to run 32-bit Windows programs. Wine can be compiled on some non-x86 architectures but it can only be used for porting programs (you need the source code for such apps).

Tried using darwinports and fink neither one made a difference. Oh well guess this wont work. Why would darwine make a version of their program for ppc if it doesn't work?
If you need a Walk-Through on getting freetype installed in Darwine, Here it is: Go to the FreeType Website and download the .bz2 of the file. Open up a terminal after you install Darwineports, Macports, or Fink. Type in this command (without the quotes): "sudo port install freetype" If your machine is password-protected, you may need to type it in. It WILL NOT show in the terminal. After the scrolling text that shows up halts, type in this command, no quotes: "export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib" You might be able to set the path in the folder containing the Winehelper app, as some programs will run this way. In order to, move the Darwine folder to the Applications folder and instead of /opt/local/lib, type this in: "/Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin/wine" HTH -- View this message in context: http://wine.1045685.n5.nabble.com/powermac-g4-tp1691087p2260428.html Sent from the Wine - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
