[Swftools-common] Re: compiling pdf2swf.exe with linux mingw

[matt cline]

compiling pdf2swf.exe with ubuntu 9.04/MingW
UPDATE:
ive solved the zlib issue by compiling my own zlib as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
cd zlib-1.2.3
export CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc
export AR="i586-mingw32msvc-ar rc"
export RANLIB="i586-mingw32msvc-ranlib"
./configure
make
make install prefix=/usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
i then ran into jpeg and freetype header missing errors
i downloaded src zips(which i probably could of done and saved time for zlib) from 
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html
i then copied the respective lib include bin contents to /usr/i586-mingw32msvc
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CURRENT PROBLEM:
since i have libs and incs in 3 diff locations due to my lack of experience with unix os's my configure command is as follows(im sure there's overkill in there):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++ CPP=i586-mingw32msvc-cpp CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc LDFLAGS="-L/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/bin -L/usr/bin -L/usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc/bin" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/include -I/usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/freetype2" ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc && make
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
which results in the following error: **notice special chars in output**

ok..ive given up on compliling pdf2swf.exe in windows cygwin w/o cygwin being installed on the sytem dependency.

Ive given up on compiling pdf2swf.exe on windows with mingw32/msys.
The problem i left off with there was durning make i would get the following:

xpdf/gfile.cc : In Function 'char * mktmpname(char*);

xpdf/gfile.cc:474: error: 'lrand48' was not declared in this scope

make[2]: *** [xpdf/gfile.obj] Error 1

make[1]: ***[libpdf.lib] Error 2

Now I'm now trying to compile pdf2swf.exe with ubuntu 9.04/MingW
for compiling i use the following command:

./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc

I get >
ERROR:
You need zlib to compile swftools

I already have zlib installed AND ive compiled zlib with the following:
CC=/usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc-gcc AR="/usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc-ar rc" RANLIB=/usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc-ranlib ./configure --prefix=/opt/minw
make
make install

what i dont know, is what to do with - where to put - what to name the resulting example and or minigzip files so that the configure process will pick them up?

I'm not in dire need of recompiling with my source changes at all....this has just sort of become an obsession, and im pullin out hair trying to figure out what method im going to use to compile exe's...any light on this would definately help me get some sleep..thx
