[Swftools-common] Cannot build python module with recent snapshots

[Christoph Schulte-Mönting]

Hi,

I tried to build the python modules SWF + gfx but failed when using one of the recent snapshots. E.g. with swftools-2008-11-12-0905.tar.gz I get this result:

$ python setup.py build
Creating config.h...

OTOH I can build the normal command line tools using configure and make without problems.


I tried an older snapshot I still had lying around (swftools-2008-05-14-2122.tar.gz) - with that the python module builds successfully on the same machine so I do not think I have a local configuration problem here.

Perhaps you remember some configuration change that needs to be reflected in the python build script?

Best regards,
