On a related note I was unable to build a recent checkout of Poppler because it tries to build all the GTK based tests regardless of whether or not the configure script found gdk/gtk etc.<div> </div><div>I got around it by commenting out the 'tests' target in Makefile (I was in a hurry), after that it builds & runs fine on Debian Lenny. <div class="gmail_quote">On 9 March 2011 12:12, Tim Brody <<a href="mailto:tdb2@ecs.soton.ac.uk">tdb2@ecs.soton.ac.uk</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> $ git clone git://<a href="http://git.freedesktop.org/git/poppler/poppler" target="_blank">git.freedesktop.org/git/poppler/poppler</a> $ cd poppler $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local/poppler --disable-cairo-output --disable-poppler-glib --disable-gtk-test --disable-poppler-qt4 --disable-splash-output --disable-poppler-cpp $ make ...

Is it unreasonable to ask poppler to maintain compatibility with stable releases of dependent libraries e.g. cairo 1.0, glib 2.0 etc? It surely can't help testing to restrict your community to those people on the very latest library levels? -- All the best, Tim. _______________________________________________ poppler mailing list <a href="mailto:poppler@lists.freedesktop.org">poppler@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/poppler" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/poppler</a> </blockquote></div> </div>
