Re: [Swftools-common] Unable to configure on Linux mint 16

[Chris Ohmstede]

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
