Cygwin packages sometimes take time to be built. Usually they appear within two days or so from releasing the source tarballs (if I am not busy with other things, I'll put them up sooner though) > So, I assume I only have to install cygwin and ./configure + ./make it to get > it running? > What packages are needed for compilation and for running PDFedit on Windows? > It would be great to get a list of pacckages I need. You need to install only cygwin and then get the binary packages compiled for cygwin. Although you can compile it by yourself too - in tools directory there is cygwin_build.bat - set path to cygwin instalation there and run it. You should end with pdfedit package being built in /tmp/pdfedit-package (under cygwin) if all goes well and you have all installed. > As far as I know I need Mesa3D, QT?, For compilation you need the same packages as for Linux: Qt3, boost, boost::iostreams, freetype. PDFedit will not need Mesa3D. Also, you will need the compiler and its tools (g++, gnu make, binutils .... the usual stuff) For optional components (kernel tests, parts documentation...) you may need further packages (xsltproc, cppunit, doxygen, docbook xsl stylesheets ... > What else? > > (Well, I also can install all available cygwin packges...?) For running the compiled package you will need probably only the X server, qt3 and freetype libraries (and the base cygwin system). Should be enough. Also note, that pdfedit is currently being rewritten from qt3+qsa to qt4.3 +qtscript (qt4 branch in CVS, planned to be part of 0.5.0). As it is quite huge rewrite, it will take some time, I'd say month at least for some usable version. Currently it is in middle of rewrite process and its not even compilable now). Aside for fixing memory leaks, improving speed and removing few GUI limitations (like ability to change interface language and icon theme without program restart) this should have effect of enabling native windows build of pdfedit (no need for cygwin anymore, as qt4 is opensourced for native windows too, unlike qt3 which is opensourced only for X11) Martin Petricek GPG/PGP Public key: http://www.petricek.net/petricm.pgp Fingerprint 6AA8 FFCE C061 1CB2 55F0 A1F3 3AA9 EB4F BD50 C1B8 /------------------------------------------------------------\ | WWW: http://www.petricek.net/ | \------------------------------------------------------------/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
