After many hours, needed to build the Gnu Java Compiler

Wow!!!

I finally succeeded to build the latest version of pdftk (1.44) in puppy linux 3.01

feel free to test if working in your puppy version, it include the huge dependency libgcj.so.7.0.0 (21 MB)

Modern puppies, since Lupu, to precise, passing for Slacko and so on... should be able to use the precompiled pdftk binaries from Debian, or Ubunru (Lucid) or Slackware 13 (Slacko and derivates)

if your puppy version can't use precompiled pdftk binaries from another distro, you can try the experimental

PDFTK STATIFIED package (in the same page on dokupuppylinux)

- direct link

I made with statifier
- http://dokupuppylinux.info/programs:compiling_utilities#statifier-171

statifier is the free alternative to commercial and more evolute magicermine to pack the applications into one executable with all its dependencies, when is not too easy or not possible build programs statically from source

changelog of pdftk-1.44

Hi Dingo.
I have used the pdftk-1.41 in my dpup484/485, that you packed as a pet earlier, with good result. I have used it in Debian for many years.
What is the reason for the Java libs. dependency? Can pdftk be used without it, or can it be modified to avoid using libgcj.so.7.0.0?
Just curious, I'll stick with the old one for now, you did a good job there!
