RE: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf quits without converting or warning at 'Generating info structure'

[Eric Adriaans | Dsens]

Hey Joseph,

At the moment I'm looking at my shell which is converting the pdf nicely! I
updated my directadmin an hour ago, which upgraded some versions, among
others freetype from 2.2.1 to 2.3.1 I think. Don't know if freetype caused
the problem, but the conversion works fine now :)

Thanx for all your help!

Eric

Now, we need to find out what is causing the SIGFPE.  I usually use gdb 
to debug programs.

I will show the simplest possible way to debug pdf2swf, if you want more 
details, please consult the documentation:

http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/

1. Start a gdb session:
gdb /usr/local/bin/pdf2swf [this needs to be the full path to your 
pdf2swf executable]

2. then at the (gdb) prompt issue:
run <filename>.pdf -o <output>.swf

Can you copy and paste the output.  (Please do not include the "(no 
debugging symbols found)" messages).

3. use the "quit" command to exit the session
