How to install PDF2SWF, PDFTools in Debian.

First you need the needed repositories.

wget https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-2.4.0.tar.gz
wget https://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v7.tar.gz
wget https://www.swftools.org/swftools-2013-04-09-1007.tar.gz
 
tar -zvxf swftools-2013*
tar -zvxf jpegsrc.v7
tar -zvxf freetype*
cd jpegsrc.v7
./configure
make
make install
cd freetype-2.4.0
./configure
make
make install
cd swftools-2013-04-09-1007
./configure
make
make install

modules/.././types.h:36:2: #error "no way to define 64 bit integer"
modules/.././types.h:39:2: #error "don't know how to define 32 bit integer"
modules/.././types.h:42:2: #error "don't know how to define 16 bit integer"
modules/.././types.h:45:2: #error "don't know how to define 8 bit integer"

The first solution.

ldconfig /usr/local/lib
./configure

Given that, not even then I got to install it, proceed and clone the master branch on Github, that seems to work perfectly fine.

So the solution I found somewhere:

apt-get install gcc g++ zlib1g-dev make libgif-dev
wget https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-2.4.9.tar.gz
tar xzvf freetype-*.tar.gz
cd freetype*
rm -f config.cache
ldconfig /usr/local/lib
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" ./configure
make
make install
cd ..
wget https://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v8d.tar.gz
tar xzvf jpeg*.tar.gz
cd jpeg*
rm -f config.cache
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" ./configure
make
make install
cd ..
wget https://www.swftools.org/swftools-0.9.1.tar.gz
tar xzvf swftools-*.tar.gz
wget ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/xpdf-3.03.tar.gz
mv xpdf-*.tar.gz swftools-*/lib/pdf
cd swftools-*
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" ./configure
make
make install
cd ..
rm -r jpeg*
rm -r swftools*
rm -r freetype*
