Re: [Swftools-common] Standalone version of pdf2swf
Hey, The reason for compiling with crossbridge is that this will be a part of a flash based program which amongst other things will also be used to read pdf files and hence we’ll be using crossbridge to compile it as an swf. Also crossbridge has hashing functions and other requirements that then helps with the conversion of c/c++ code into an swf file without too much work/fiddling. That being said we’re still open to use different methods to compile the code into a swf. The final deliverable for the project is an swf file of pdf2swf so the method used to obtain that isn’t so much of an issue. Thanks for the help so far.

Hope this helps, Steve --- As a side note, I decided to bottom-post this, I hope it doesn’t cause confusion While what you are trying to accomplish is clearer, you still need to run the 'configure' script. It will generate make files and header files that will give you the information you need to pass on to crossbridge. As to what options you need to pass to configure to help crossbridge, I was unable to determine from what little searching I did of the crossbridge documentation. To sum up: Try to find out what options you can pass to configure that will make crossbridge happy Run 'configure' Check the generated makefile (for pdf2swf, it's in the 'src' subdirectory), to see what pdf2swf requires in the way of provided libs (there are a few of them). Compile those libs with crossbridge, then compile pdf2swf and pdf2pdf. If it would help, I would suggest unpacking the swftools sources into a secondary directory, and running 'configure' on its own there, and inspecting the makefiles. As to what options will help the generated headers and makefiles be usable under crossbridge, I cannot say. Hope this helps, Steve --- SWFTools-common is a self-managed list.
