ibook g4 hard disk replacement
Filesystem problems
Problem: hard disk out of a iBook G4, in a USB case. System no longer booted; disk has physical and / or filesystem problems. diskutil on MACOS isn't interested.

Copying files off hasn't been too bad, but its time consuming.
Downloaded fsck.hfsplus from the openmamba site, having first tried to get the source off Apple and bailed out with make errors.

Ran through a series of checks ..

Wine
Trying to get Wine working on Leopard (10.5.8)
Have downloaded Wine Bottler dmg; dragged wine and winebottler into applications as instructed.
Its not the same as Linux!!
Wine is designed to call on Linux libraries to do the heavy lifting in the absense of Windows. A number of these are missing off the shelf, and I suspect the developers are too used to having development tools on their Macs.
X11 errors.
err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"winex11.drv": dlopen(/Applications/Wine.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../lib/wine/winex11.drv.so, 2): Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.6.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/Wine.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../lib/wine/winex11.drv.so

Library was present, but in /usr/X11/lib.
$ cd /usr
$ sudo ln -s X11 X11R6

Font errors.
Fontconfig error: line 1: no element found
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file

.. and ..
$ cd /Applications/Wine.app/Contents/Resources/bin
$ ./winecfg
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.

Concluded Freetype was missing without leave. Installed mac ports.
Download macports
$ sudo port install freetype

Had tried to avoid installing XCode, which other sources of Wine on Mac seem to require; ie to compile it from scratch. Tried to download XCode as the Client couldn't find the install disk .. Google presents the Snow Leopard / 10.6.x version; this no good for this machine.
Tracked down Xcode 3.1.3 eventually ..
