Ubuntu – How to install lfreetype using wine

wine

I am using Ubuntu 11.10 64bit and trying to install wine 1.5, using this method:

Install Wine on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev gobject* libxrender-dev libfontconfig-dev pthread* libpthread-stubs0-dev xext* libsm-dev

and copy the following commands in the Terminal:

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-1.5.0.tar.bz2
tar -xjvf wine-1.5.0.tar.bz2
cd wine-1.5.0

Install some packages:

sudo apt-get install flex bison qt3-dev-tools qt4-qmake
./configure
cd tools
./wineinstall

All goes well, but at the end, I get this error message:

checking for -lfreetype... not found
configure: error: FreeType 32-bit development files not found. Fonts will not be built. 
Use the --without-freetype option if you really want this.

Does anyone know how to install lfreetype?
