Some notes: | avi2swf.m4: added 'sed s/"-rpath "//' to avifile-config, as Debian does not like -rpath Shouldn't this be fixed in avifile-config, not in swftools? I know it's easier to workaround this in a new package, but shouldn't the -config scripts of packages give you the CFLAGS/LDFLAGS which are tailored (and known to work) specifically for the curent system? (Which doesn't seem to be the case if there's an -rpath issue on Debian) | Added checkking of libart, as Debian prefers building against its own | libart (currently libart-dev 1.4.2-27 and libart-2.0-dev 2.3.17-1). | Could you let me know, if either of those has any known issues with | swftools. I'm not aware of any known issues, and so far the libart included in swftools is pretty "vanilla". This might change in the future, though. For 0.7.0, however, I guess using the system libart should work. | Removed make in m4/, as there is nothing to do Actually, the Makefile in m4/ does a sanity check for the make program. On a modern system, this shouldn't be required anymore though, so this can indeed be removed. | Removed LN_S and use debhelper's dh_link instead, because LN_S links | to /home/myhome/projects/..., which doesn't look good in the Debian | package I didn't find the dh_link call in build.diff.gz, did I miss something here? The removal of the default_viewer.swf and default_loader.swf files will break the -b and -l options of pdf2swf. Where does the "myhome/projects/" come from, btw.? | lib/h.263/Makefile.in is missing lib/h.263/Makefile is no longer called, so this is intentional. (The wrong comment at the top of the Makefile has been fixed now) I'll do my best to include most of the other changes in the official package. (Except for the @WAV2SWF@ change, because the lame-less wav2swf (which lacks mp3 compression, but can create SWF files from WAV files nonetheless) has been used as such by some users) Greetings Matthias _______________________________________________ Swftools-common mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/swftools-common
