Tried building 4.05, seems we are missing some printer support. Linking xpdf.exe is missing,
Code: [Select]
W:\usr\local\src\xpdf-4.05\build> __Z8printPDFP6PDFDocP8QPrinteriiP10XpdfWidget
printPDF(PDFDoc*, QPrinter*, int, int, XpdfWidget*)

I'll examine more. Here's the command line tools that did build.
Edit, removed the command line tools in favour of the ones posted down the page.

Built xdpf.exe by disabling printing like Windows does. Unluckily it crashes with a sigsegv in qt5core.dll

Can it build against qt6?

Yes, as long as the correct qmake is in front of the PATH.
At some point could you get a devel package of Qt6 together?
Edit: My cmake line, run from build
Code: [Select]
cmake -DXPDFWIDGET_PRINTING=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

Thanks a lot, Dave.

I've only tried pdftotext so far. This version also seems to work fine from VX-Rexx.

Here's the full release version including the crashing xpdf.exe. 7z sure compresses this better, almost 80% improvement. Built with no patches, just the cmake arguments I posted to Paul.

Odd when I built 4.04 last March, I did not have any issues with printer support.  I just built 4.04 again and it built fine (though it crashes) but 4.05 fails building due to printer support.  4.04 built with QT6 just fine then as well (though I no longer recall which release that was).

Hey Dave,

At some point could you get a devel package of Qt6 together?

Not sure what's missing here - the current zips include all headers/libs. If you mean an RPM -  I have no time/inclination to put one together - I have little enough free time as it is.

I thought that some of the libs were missing. Perhaps it is plugins where the import libs are missing.

It *should* all be there - if you find an example, lemme know and I can investigate.

[K:\work\dooble-dry\build]qmake ../dooble.pro
L:/QT6-6.2.X/mkspecs/features/toolchain.prf:76: Variable QMAKE_CXX.COMPILER_MACROS is not defined.

Hi all,

I compiled 4.05 with qt6 and  print support.
I have no printer so i could not test it, i print to a pdf and that worked.

Maybe some braveheart could test it.

Kind regards, Tellie

TeLLie!

 Fear not - your build works, printing too! (on an Epson XP-830) Thanks...

Thanks David,

Kind regards, Tellie
