I was thinking of 0.12, but we can try evince with 0.10.x too.
The problem with poppler 0.12 is that it requires lcms, which
needs to
be released in 64-bit, but lcms depends on Python, which is not,
and
will not, in the nearest future, be available in 64-bit.
Why not?
I've looked at it once. Python headers do checks on certain 64-bit
related constants, which AFAIK are set by the compiler; the
assertions
in the Python code are failing.
"/opt/csw/include/python2.6/pyport.h", line 680: Error: #error
"LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for platform (bad gcc/glibc
config?).".
Well, I've somewhat (comment below) successfully built a 64-bit
python on my own buildfarm (needed for dependencies for the 64-bit
imagemagick).
And it seems to be working just fine for my needs (libpython.so)
The problems I've had relates to the binaries (python, python2.6...)
there seems like there is some problem during merge.
If you have merge-specific problems just let me know.
Also, the _curses module fails due to some link error.
However, in order to successfully build a 64-bit python, you need a
64-bit libffi which requires the SOS12-compiler (currently not
available on Solaris8 on the buildfarm, but seems to be working just
fine for me),
It works if you have SOS12 installed. AFAIK the problem is that the
libc doesn't
contain specific parts which are also in the compiler-shipped version.
So without
the compiler they will fail. Additionally, SOS12 is compiled starting
from Solaris 9,
but as we don't have Solaris 8 mandatory any more just start with
SOS12 on Solaris 9.
which needs a 64-bit expect, which need 64-bit tcl/tk...
We both do work on this, so we? ;-)
