Re: [Swftools-common] pdf3swf conversion fails due to a font error?

[Tom Wilde]

Hi Matthias,
I'd love to! however ./configure for 0.6.1 wont work for me, it's gives the following errors:

>From ./configure:

checking for freetype-config... freetype-config
checking for FT_Init_FreeType in -lfreetype... yes
checking freetype/freetype.h usability... no
checking freetype/freetype.h presence... no
checking for freetype/freetype.h... no
checking for lame_init in -lmp3lame... yes
checking lame.h usability... yes
checking lame.h presence... yes
checking for lame.h... yes
checking for avifile-config... no
checking whether we can compile the avifile test program... no
checking for Python.h and PIL... nope
checking for missing libraries...  freetype avifile
***************************************************
* The following headers/libraries are missing:  freetype avifile
* Disabling avi2swf tool...

>From config.log:

configure:10391: gcc -E  -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include conftest.c

/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:21: #error "Please always use macros to include FreeType header files."
/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:22: #error "Example:"

/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:24: #error "  #include FT_FREETYPE_H"

anyhow... the error is occuring in ttf2pt1 it's invoked by pdf2swf so I think having an old version should really be ok.

thanks for your help!

Tom

That's quite an old version you have there- try to upgrade to 0.6.1, or
the CVS version.

Greetings
