I'm afraid I won't be back in my office, where I have cygwin set up,
until Monday evening (U.S. Eastern Standard Time), and so I'll try it
then, and let you know if I need further clarification of how to apply
the patch you've provided and rebuild.  By the way, I did make a
version of the little test file that had the expected buffer as an
argument to mkstemp, and printed out the generated name, just to make
sure that the executables that WERE built (e.g., without any special
compiler switches) actually worked--and the programs DID create and
open temporary files with the appropriate names.

What I may do is clear out the build directory, and redeploy the
delivery source code from the tar file, apply your patch, and see how
that goes, so that we all know what's going on for sure.

Let's make this easier and use the attached configure script instead of
patching.

You didn't use --enable-portability-flags=no parameter to configure, did
you? I can still see c++ standard and portability parameters above.

I ran the configure script you sent me ("./configure" with no
arguments) and then ran make, again with no arguments.

I did have to run configure twice, because I had forgotten to set the
environment variable QTDIR before proceeding, but I don't think that
would make a difference, do you?  I also deployed the delivery files
afresh, after killing the entire build directory, to make certain that
there were no artifacts laying around from prior attempts.

I did capture the screen output of the configure script if you'd like
to look it over--I can send it to you when I get to my office tonight.

OK, then you need to use --enable-portability-flags=no parameter to
configure. This one tells configure to not use all those c/c++ standard
and portability parameters to gcc. Then you just run make like before.

Makes sense?

Well, no, not really, but I'm more concerned with (a) getting the most
RECENT version of pdfedit built for me (the older, precompiled one is
up and running, but crashes on me regularly where it shouldn't, e.g.,
if it tries to open a file in a directory that has too many files for
it to list in a file-selection window) and (b) while I'm at it,
helping you and the pdfedit developers package it so that cygwin users
can build and deploy it to--so I don't really need to understand, in
this case:  I'm content to serve as a Q.C. tester.

I think I already tried that, at Mrs. Hocko's suggestion, and it
didn't seem to help.  I sent in a report on that
try around Oct. 26, if you want to look it up in the archive of this list.

OK, I know where is the problem. I was too fast when I told you that you
do not need to apply the patch. Of course you need it because it doesn't
change just configure.in (which is used for configure generation) but
also Makefile.flags.in which actually uses what configure produces based
on parameters. I am sorry for confusion I just wanted to make your life
easier and didn't realize that the patching is necessary.

So, please apply the patch (patch -p1 < patchfile in the source tree

Well, I won't be in my office again until Monday night, but I'll try it then.
Let me just make sure I know what I should be doing:

(1) untar the delivery software of pdfedit 0.4.5;
(2) take the patch you sent me and run "patch -p1 < patchfile" with
the patchfile you sent me,
     make_portability_flags_configurable.patch, on November 5;
(3) run the special configure script you sent me on November 6;
(4) run make.

Is that correct and in the correct order?

Well, I can try to make it available to you if you need it, or pack it
up for Mrs. Hocko or one of the other project administrators if they'd
like to make it available on the project space, but I have no standing
in the project at all:  I'm just an "end user."

We should probably wait for the next release, which is not planned yet.
Do you have any problems to compile it from CVS sources? The patch that
I have posted to this thread is already in there so you just need to
grab the sources and compile them.

Re: pdfedit 0.4.5 Compilation Failure under Cygwin

Hi,

I have downloaded the latest cvs sources but unable to run configure cause the file is not there. I have found confgure.in but not confiure.

Regards,

Mohamed

You have to generate the script by autoconf command. It uses confiure.in
as a template.

Please have a look at README file which describes other details about
compilation and other stuff.

Mr. Mohamed wrote to me privately, asking me to zip up the compiled
version I compiled and e-mail it to him, and in that letter, said that
he had tried--and failed--to compile it under his version of cygwin.

Once I applied the patch and used the switch you specified, Mrs.
Hocko, the compilation went through--with numerous warnings--but the
project did get built, but I get the impression that Mr. Mohamed
doesn't care to try again.

However, If you respond to this thread and give me instructions for
how to go about it, I'll be happy to test the next release's build
under my cygwin installation for you.
