[Solved]How to install pdfedit

[yves04]

Hello,
My OS is Salix 13.37. Unfortunately I can't manage to install pdfedit. After uncompress pdfedit-0.4.5.tar.bz2, the command
#./configure
returns

Code: Select all

...................................
checking for T1_InitLib in -lt1... yes
using t1 library
checking whether we want to prepare pdfedit-core-dev package... no
checking whether we want to build PDFedit gui... yes
checking for QT qmake... found /usr/lib/qt/bin/qmake but it failed check
checking for another... found /usr/bin/qmake but it failed check
checking for another... found /usr/bin/qmake but it failed check
checking for another... configure: error: unable to find qmake for QT3

Though the command echo $QTDIR returns /usr/lib/qt and the ccommand echo $QMAKESPEC returns /usr/lib/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++-32
Do you know how to solve this problem ?
Have a nice day.

Why are you trying to install it manually? There is a SlackBuild available and you can get it with Sourcery. That said, pdfedit is rather old and probably not maintained anymore. It uses the old qt3 instead of the new qt4 and you'll have to install qt3 using sourcery first, before you try to install pdfedit.

Thanks a lot gapan for your quick answer.
I've tried the comnand slapt-src -i qt3 and I've got

Code: Select all

ERROR: Qt is not configured to support threading on this platform
       See the THREAD settings in /usr/lib/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++-32/qmake.conf
fakeroot -- sh qt3.SlackBuild Raté

If it's too difficult for me, I'll have to give up and wait for a new editor for pdf files.
Thanks again.
