I would like to see pdfedit in EPEL, as such I would request EL5 and EL-6 branches for lesstif. I am happy to (co)maintain if you're not interested in EPEL. (I == tremble)
Sounds good. Making the request. I checked in change to devel to use openmotif instead of lesstif on EPEL, but I can't get it to compile on EL-5: g++ -c -O2 -fmessage-length=0 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fexceptions -pipe -posix -ansi -std=c++98 -pedantic -I. -I/builddir/build/BUILD/pdfedit-0.4.5/src -I/builddir/build/BUILD/pdfedit-0.4.5/src/xpdf/ -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include -o textoutputengines.o textoutputengines.cc cpagecontents.cc: In member function 'void pdfobjects::CPageContents::addInlineImage(const std::vector<char, std::allocator<char> >&, const libs::Point&, const libs::Point&)': cpagecontents.cc:543: warning: passing 'const double' for argument 1 to 'pdfobjects::CObjectSimple<Tp>::CObjectSimple(const typename pdfobjects::PropertyTraitSimple<Tp>::value&) [with pdfobjects::PropertyType Tp = pInt]' /usr/include/boost/noncopyable.hpp: In copy constructor 'pdfobjects::CObjectSimple<pInt>::CObjectSimple(const pdfobjects::CObjectSimple<pInt>&)': /usr/include/boost/noncopyable.hpp:27: error: 'boost::noncopyable_::noncopyable::noncopyable(const boost::noncopyable_::noncopyable&)' is private /builddir/build/BUILD/pdfedit-0.4.5/src/kernel/cobjectsimple.h:104: error: within this context cpagecontents.cc: In member function 'void pdfobjects::CPageContents::addInlineImage(const std::vector<char, std::allocator<char> >&, const libs::Point&, const libs::Point&)': cpagecontents.cc:543: note: synthesized method 'pdfobjects::CObjectSimple<pInt>::CObjectSimple(const pdfobjects::CObjectSimple<pInt>&)' first required here cpagecontents.cc:544: warning: passing 'const double' for argument 1 to 'pdfobjects::CObjectSimple<Tp>::CObjectSimple(const typename pdfobjects::PropertyTraitSimple<Tp>::value&) [with pdfobjects::PropertyType Tp = pInt]' /usr/include/boost/noncopyable.hpp: In copy constructor 'pdfobjects::CObjectSimple<pName>::CObjectSimple(const pdfobjects::CObjectSimple<pName>&)': /usr/include/boost/noncopyable.hpp:27: error: 'boost::noncopyable_::noncopyable::noncopyable(const boost::noncopyable_::noncopyable&)' is private /builddir/build/BUILD/pdfedit-0.4.5/src/kernel/cobjectsimple.h:104: error: within this context cpagecontents.cc: In member function 'void pdfobjects::CPageContents::addInlineImage(const std::vector<char, std::allocator<char> >&, const libs::Point&, const libs::Point&)': cpagecontents.cc:545: note: synthesized method 'pdfobjects::CObjectSimple<pName>::CObjectSimple(const pdfobjects::CObjectSimple<pName>&)' first required here Haven't tried EL-6 yet.
Switching to openmotif for EL-6 works, the EL-5 issue appears to be due to a change in the boost API (note EL-5 has an ancient version of boost)
