[Swftools-common] Reg : Compiling swf tools

[kumar rajesh]

Hi,
I have tried to compile swf tools in windows. I have followed the instruction said by the following link.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/swftools-common/2005-02/msg00023.html
But it failed to creates the exe files. Is any one has updated document for compiling swf tools in windows.

Mean while I have tried to create cross compiler exe using the command said in FAQ. Even i failed to create the output.

CXX=i386-mingw32msvc-g++ CPP=i386-mingw32msvc-cpp CC=i386-mingw32msvc-gcc \
   ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc && make

I have given the OS details and the error which i got during the compilation for your reference.

OS : ubuntu 9.10

Following packages have already installed related to zlib

Please help me to sort out the issues.
