And if I'm in time, I'll post a PKGBUILD.

Re: [request] pdftk

Here's a PKGBUILD I already had:

pkgname=pdftk
pkgver=1.12
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Pdftk  is  a  simple  tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents."
url="http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/"
license=""
depends=('gcc-gcj')
source=(http://www.pdfhacks.com/pdftk/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('ec1b6d9e06109c6f05e19033f1d91d8a')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/$pkgname
  sed -i 's|//SID||' ../java_libs/com/lowagie/text/pdf/codec/PngImage.java
  make -f Makefile.Generic || return 1
  install -D -m755 pdftk $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/pdftk
  install -D -m644 ../debian/pdftk.1 $startdir/pkg/usr/man/man1/pdftk.1
}

Re: [request] pdftk

What?! You have a collection of PKGBUILD's that aren't on AUR yet?! Somewhere in a locked chest maybe? Next to the cure for itchy scrot and the solution for world peace?

Of course!  :twisted:
It's basically a directory where I keep my custom and in-progress PKGBUILD. Perhaps a couple of these are ready to go in AUR. I'll put pdftk in AUR as well as a couple of others.

Re: [request] pdftk

I uploaded pdftk to AUR. I've bumped the pkgrel because I filled the licence field. I've also uploaded highmoon and whirlgif from my secret stash.

Enjoy!

Re: [request] pdftk

pdftk doen't build right now for me also. I didn't  had time to look into it in details but it could be an issue with the latest gcc-gcj.

Something changed with 4.1.2-5. I'm stuck here as well. I don't have the skill to figure this out unfortuneatly.

Here is my output.

Same problem here. A working PKGBUILD would be great

Re: [request] pdftk

I posted that message on pdftk's AUR page:

Comment by: Snowman on 20070529 [23:05:24]
I got it to build with a patch but it still doesn't work with the recent gcj:

$ ./pdftk
libgcj failure: gcj linkage error.
Incorrect library ABI version detected. Aborting.

Aborted

Since that post, I haven't done anything else (pdftk related). I'll try with the latest gcj from testing.

Re: [request] pdftk

Making several makepkg changes the error message. I think some classes are needed but produced later or something like that.

Re: [request] pdftk

It is not compiling yet

I'm looking for another command line pdf builder from png/gif images. What have you been using since pdftk stopped working (maybe I need a grammar help, too )?

Thank you

Re: [request] pdftk

I needed pdftk in the last weeks. What I did was to download a debian package from the web, extract it and run the binary. Works great. But its only a temp solution...

Which one are you using? Could you post a url pls? I've tried a few, but got various errors and gave up :\

Re: [request] pdftk

@sessy :

I just tried the debian lenny package http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/pdftk/download and put the extracted pdftk bin into the /usr/bin directory. Seems to work well enough....
Hope that helps.:)

Re: [request] pdftk

I adopted the AUR package and created a new PKGBUILD for building against a binary from debian lenny. It works on my x64 machine. It's a hack but at least it works.

thanks for doing that, big_gie - at least it's something until the gcj prob gets sorted out.

Re: [request] pdftk

Works fine here (i686).

report.cc:(.text+0x270f): warning: the use of `tmpnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'

I do not bother, it is only a warning.
