1This file lists the known problems with libextractor on various
2platforms. Let us know if you know more about it than we do.
3
4GNU/Linux (x86):
5- perfect, but with gcc 3.3 you must turn off optimizations!
6
7GNU/Linux (32-/64-bit PowerPC):
8- perfect
9
10GNU/Linux (Ultra Sparc):
11- perfect
12
13GNU/Linux (Alpha):
14- perfect
15
16GNU/Linux (x86_64, Fedora Core)
17- set "CFLAGS=-fPIC" before running configure
18
19FreeBSD (x86):
20- perfect

22OpenBSD 3.8:
23- Chan Siu Ming <namely_void@yahoo.co.uk> writes:
24 - libtool is good to have
25 - OpenBSD 3.8 also doesn't have CODESET in langinfo.h (used in about three places.) I'm not sure how to cleanly overcome this.
26 - for some reason, convert.a is linked with a static version of libiconv.a, so that convert.a ends up containing convert.o
27 and libiconv.a, which confuses the linker, because archives aren't supposed to contain other archives. Removed the ICONV
28 stuff from convert_la_LDFLAGS in some Makefiles and it seemed to get past that.
29
30- NetBSD:
31- unknown
32
33OS X (10.3, PowerPC):
34- LIBEXTRACTOR_PREFIX needs to be set properly for 'make check'
35- (X)PDF extractor does not work properly, especially with gcc 3.x
36 (use the C-based pdfextractor (default now anyway))
37
38Solaris 8 (SunOS 5.8, Sparc SunFire 880):
39- unknown
40
41Solaris 10
42- reported success for 0.5.11 with minor modifiations (on LE mailinglist, 2006/3/27)

44MinGW:
45- linking against libstdc++ fails
46 my workaround: rename libstdc++.la
47 Gerrit P. Haase writes:
48 Linking -lstdc++ with the provided libtool fails also on Cygwin, this
49 is a problem with libtool, there is unfortunately no flag to tell
50 libtool how to do its job on Cygwin and it seems that it cannot be the
51 default to set the library check to 'pass_all'. Workaround as you
52 suggested doesn't work on Cygwin, IIRC. I use a patched libtool for
53 these kind of problems.
54
55Cygwin:
56- compiles fine after touch src/plugins/printable/config.h
57- plugins do not load (weird Win32 error code)
