Hey guys,

swftools is giving me a hard time when trying to install it on Mac OS X 10.6.

Here's the situation:
swftools 0.9.1 builds just fine but pdf2swf (the main tool I need) produces 
segmentation faults. This happens when I install swftools via Homebrew 
(https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew) as well as when I compile it manually.
I've tried cloning the git repository (git://git.swftools.org/swftools) gut 
that version doesn't compile correctly: It fails at the stage where it tries to 
patch xpdf. Even after I add the patches (that are ignored due to settings in 
the .gitignore files), make coughs up a little later and swftools still won't 
successfully compile.

So I'm wondering: Is there a way to get this working? I have a working and 
patches xpdf installation and I'm wondering if I can somehow get swftools to 
use this installation rather than its own copy of xpdf. Does anyone have any 
insights?

Thanks in advance,
- Clemens
