[Wvware-devel] wv 0.63 compiling and Core Dump problem

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I've just downloaded wv0.63 and compiled under RedHat 6.2, configured with
./configure (no other parameter). When I type 'make' I've got the error
message : 

Makefile:360: *** missing separator.  Stop.

I found that line 360 begins with 8 white spaces, instead of one tab. I
tried to clear the prefix spaces and insert one tab, and fixed the problem.
But when I installed the compiled code, and tried executing wvHtml, I've got

** ERROR **: file ./wvConfig.c: line 3285 (wvParseConfig): should not be
reached
aborting...

and one dumped core file. The problem never happens in wv 0.62. However,
I've got these error messages from wv 0.62 when converting the same file
with wvHtml :

wvError: (./wvWare.c:569) field began
 wvError: (./wvWare.c:580) this field has an associated embedded object of
id 3e118fd2
 wvError: (./field.c:252) embed

 wvError: (./escher.c:528) Eating type 0xf122
 wvError: (./decompresswmf.c:31) libwv was not compiled against zlib, so wmf
files cannot be decompress

Environment info:

RedHat 6.2
zlib 1.1.3
libpng 1.0.8
freetype 1.3.1
libwmf 1.21
ImageMagick 5.2.5
