freetype: error: cannot run C compiled programs

[kristjan.steinarsson@…]

Hello,
I tried to install Wine on my Mac, which runs Snow Leopard. I've installed Xcode and MacPorts and then tried to install Wine. This is what I get:

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.

I'm a newbie when it comes to this, and would be very grateful for any assistance. I have no idea what may have gone wrong here, or how to proceed to fix it.

Please remember to preview and use WikiFormatting, fill in the Port field, and cc the maintainer.

"error: cannot run C compiled programs" usually means you haven't installed Xcode. Please verify you've installed Xcode 3.2.2.

Any news here? Have you been able to compile freetype by now?
