I had it working on p412, after downloading it already compiled. I'll need to hunt around to locate where I got it from.

meanwhile another pdftk version has been released (1.44) with new exciting features

gjc-4.4.4 is needed
- ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/gnu/gcc/releases/gcc-4.4.4

I tried to build from source but it returns several errors about missing dependencies

it is a pity that we cannot compile pdftk in puppy linux

Hello Dingo,

I looked up the gcj I did in spring. Unfortunatly this is not the required version 4.4.4 just 4.2.2 in "alpha" quality, I had not removed any stuff and no Compile Optimisations, so the pet is huge (70 MB).

Download gcj-422-all-i486.pet

Cookbook (based on http://gcc.gnu.org/java/build-snapshot.html):
I made this on Puppy 431with devx_431.sfs.
