Re: [Swftools-common] Cannot compile swftools from CVS

Hi Matthias,

I tried your method but it didn't work well.

I downloaded the xpdf 3.02 source and ran your perl script, I got lots
of text coming from successful patching, but I also got the following
suspect messages :

patching file config.h
Hunk #1 FAILED at 53.
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file config.h.rej

and at the end :

Hunk #1 succeeded at 919 (offset -6 lines).
Died at inject-xpdf.pl line 18.

Running again "make" gave me the same errors. Looking at the command
line, I guessed that I needed to make a symbolic link from
/lib/pdf/xpdf-3.02 to /lib/pdf/xpdf

I ran "make" again, this time the GfxOutputDev.cc compiled
successfully but the next file failed with the following errors :

g++ -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I/home/test/include -I/usr/include/freetype2
-Ilame -fPIC -fPIC -Wparentheses -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -O

Since I saw a xpdf-3.01 folder in lib/pdf, I also tried to use the
3.01 version of xpdf source, I got exactly the same message from the
perl scripts. I made a symbolic link as before and tried make, and
this time I got this :

g++ -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I/home/test/include -I/usr/include/freetype2
-Ilame -fPIC -fPIC -Wparentheses -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -O

make[2]: *** [GFXOutputDev.o] Error 1

Any idea ?
