[Michal Hocko has been trying to help me build pdfedit 0.4.5 under Windows/cygwin 1.7.7. This message is part of a thread in which she has been suggesting alterations to the configuration and make, and I have been reporting the results of the changes she has been recommending.]
[untar a fresh 0.4.5 distribution] $ export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3 $ patch -p1 <make_portability_flags_configurable.patch patching file Makefile.flags.in patching file README Hunk #1 succeeded at 221 (offset -2 lines). patching file configure.in patching file Changelog Hunk #1 FAILED at 2. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file Changelog.rej $ ./hocko-configure --enable-portability-flags=no . . . . $ make [Built successfully!!! At last!!!] $ make install [looks okay so far!!!] And then, Mrs. Hocko, I'm delighted to tell you that I opened the cygwin X-server, typed "pdfedit" and up came PDFEDIT 0.4.5. There were lots and lots of WARNINGS all over the place in the build, and I'm sure that as soon as I start using pdfedit, I will quickly manage to make it crash on me (the older version crashed when I tried to open a directory that had many files in it)...but at least NOW we know it builds properly under cygwin... And I hope that this helped the PDFedit team package it up for cygwin in the next release. Thank you very much for all your help, Mrs. Hocko. I'm delighted that this is running...and I shall now try to use it for the purposes for which I wished to install it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
