Hi Kerstyn
Good to hear it. I'm surprised that the executable is not in your
current path environment variable. Is your full pdf2swf path this?
/usr/bin/pdf2swf
If not, where is the path to pdf2swf?

Chris,
Thank you so much for your patient help. I've managed to convert a PDF
to a SWF file with a transparent background. Just in time to perfect
the presentation I'm working on.
The only minor glitch is that I couldn't run pdf2swf without entering
the full path. I can live with that unless there is an easy way to
have the file recognised regardless of which folder I'm in.
Thanks again,
Kerstyn

Hi Kerstyn
Not every configure parameter is required in fact your configure
output is looking pretty good. The only one I would be concerned
about right now is the pdf lib. Go ahead and install.
make
sudo make install
and let's see where we're at. We can always uninstall if necessary.
sudo make uninstall
Good luck
Chris

Thanks for all your ongoing help. I'm very new to all this. I've
installed the files you suggested and reran configure. How can I
tell if it has worked properly without making and installing? The
config log is still showing errors with the header file confdefs.h
Thanks,
Kerstyn

Oops, my mistake. It looks like both Ubuntu and Mint have
got rid of lib64 in their latest releases. If you installed,
uninstall and we'll start fresh (sudo make uninstall).
First off, install these packages (if not already installed)
to fill a few more dependencies:
libmp3lame-dev
libzzip-dev
libfontconfig1-dev
libfftw3-dev
libgif-dev
now try this command line:
./configure --prefix=/usr
if that doesn't work, try:
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
and we'll see where we're at.
Good luck

Chris,
Thanks I'm getting closer but I suspect that I'm still not
able to run configure properly as I get errors when I try to
run pdf2swf. The new config log is attached.
Thanks,
Kerstyn

Make sure you have zlib1g-dev installed. The configure
is looking for pkgconfig and header files. Anything that
it fails on, make sure you have the -dev (developement)
package installed.
Hope it helps

Thanks locating pointing the config file to the correct
location of libexec has moved me on a bit but now I get
the message 'ERROR: you need zlib to compile swftools'
I have checked that I have zlib1g install (zlib doesn't
seem to exist) so not sure what to do next.
Thanks,

After a quick look I noticed this:
--libexecdir=/usr/lib
Your running a 64 bit system. I don't know Mint
but chances are your libexecdir is /usr/lib64.
Try this command line:
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib64
Hope it works.

Hi,
I'm trying to install Swftools on Mint 16 but am
unable to configure the make file. I have checked
that the gcc complier is installed and works.
Attached is the config.log.
I've trawled the internet but cannot find any
solutions. I've also been unable to install
freetype as that also won't configure. Any help
you can give would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kerstyn
