Re: [pdf-devel] Compiling in Mac OS X

[jemarch]

Hello.

   I am trying to compile libgnupdf in Mac OS X 10.5, and found some porting
   issues that I don't really know how to handle (first time trying to port
   something to this OS).
   I found at least three issues:
    (1) libtoolize --> glibtoolize (in Darwin) --> So bootstrap needs to  be
   modified. New bootstrap for Mac OS X?

Please check if `autoreconf' does the right thing. If it does we will
call `autoreconf' from the bootstrap script instead of the explicit
call chain.

    (2) malloc.h --> stdlib.h (in Darwin) --> So source files will need an
   explicit #ifdef _DARWIN_OS or something like that (a more explicit #ifdef
   HAVE_MALLOC_H maybe) for a correct compilation. Configure script will need
   to be run with the specific definition (-D_DARWIN_OS) as well. Is this the
   best approach?

    (3) The function 'getline' used in utils/pdf_filter is not included in my
   default system libraries. Is there any workaround to this?

gnulib provides portable implementations for both facilities. I
imported new modules for `malloc.h' and `getline'. Please update from
CVS and test it.

BTW, the `AC_CANONICAL_HOST' in `configure.ac' should report that you
are building in macosx.
