Re: [Libemf-devel] compilation of LibEMF

[Allen B. <all...@gm...>]

Hi Chaitanya: I just tried to build libEMF on a Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit
system and it would not compile. I guess the GCC on the system does not
define the correct macros that the fake-windows headers are expecting. 

I got mostly through the build with:

$ CFLAGS="-D__i386__" CXXFLAGS="-D__i386__" configure
$ make
$ make check

However, all the check tests failed; so I suspect that there are more
problems with 64-bits. I don't have a 32-bit Ubuntu system to test on.

I would recommend that you try to install the pstoedit tool. That
software has an windows metafile output driver which uses libEMF. If
someone has built pstoedit on Ubuntu, then possibly they built libEMF as
well. (Anyway, on Fedora, you get libEMF when you install pstoedit.)
