If you use MacPorts, you should be able to compile fontconfig with no problem (be sure to use +universal to compile 32-bit libraries as well). Beyond that, I can't really say what's causing it to not work without trying it out myself. Another thing to look into is winetricks (http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks), which will install a lot of things for you in wine (ie6 is among them).

]]> Comment on Building Wine for Snow Leopard by Robert http://www.mgriepentrog.com/2010/02/15/building-wine-for-snow-leopard/comment-page-1/#comment-470 Robert Fri, 19 Mar 2010 20:25:10 +0000 http://www.mgriepentrog.com/?p=102#comment-470 Hey great breakdown here, you're very knowledgeable! I'm having the worst trouble trying to compile any programs using the latest rev of winbottler which uses wine 1.1.35. The issue is constant across multiple machines having to do with fontconfig errors. Honestly, I just want IE6 to work, and work well and it's failing. If you have 2 minutes I was wondering if you could offer some thought as to a fix? I'm not sure, but I believe an upgrade to snow leopard and then getting the latest version of X11 might be the fix (I got it to work on an iMac snow leopard, but I'm not positive that was the fix) but I don't have a very solid window/linux background. What do you think? I've already tried to contact the WineBottler developer without avail. Is there a way to manually install whatever it needs for fontconfig?
