recently I've tried to compile pdftk package for my Slack64-current box.
But the compile process has failed with such info:
Code:

I found some info, checked the Debian packages, and made some edits in Makefiles. Problem was solver partialy. Still cannot make the package, but the error messages are different:
Code:

Any helps or hints?
Or maybe some one of You knows there is somewhere a ready to use package for Slack64-13 (or -current)?
I recently got into the same trouble while compiling pdftk in my x86 slackware 13. I used to run it in my slack 12.2 but no way to get it to run in slackware 13. I would be interessed if someone got it to work.
You need to change the files by hand. It's easy. You should replace gcjh command for generating headers from classes, and provide FQDN classpath as this:
Code:
# gcjh doesn't want the ".class" extension, so use
# the "$*" automatic variable, here
#
%.h : %.class
$(GCJH) --classpath="$(java_libs_root):." $*;
# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this is what You need to add ;)
Edit: I forgot to mention, that You shoud also remove the command just after gcjh command ($(RM) ... ). It's important.
Currently trying to make the package for x86_64...

Hmm... Still something wrong, but this time I was able to compile java-things of pdftk.
Currently I get this errors:
Code:

Looks, like the itext part of pdftk is staticaly linked for internal version of gcj part available in source tree... This patch available in slacky repository doesn't repair the makefiles in gcj-tree, but removes build commands from main makefile of java's tree.
Restoring those command and repairing the makefiles as mentioned above is the solution, I think
I am stupid!
I said previously, that the patch from Slacky.eu removes some commands from javas-part makefile, but I forgot to check the main makefile of whole source tree!.
Well, the patch removes definition of gcj libraries, so the ld tool cannot collect all information
Restoring these lines solute all!
I was able to make pdftk tool
I try to make the patch file, so I pase it into this thread soon...
There is some incompatibility with the recent gcj library - when I try to run pdftk made by myself, I got "Wrong ABI version" error message.
Still fighting
The problem with the patch from slacky.eu is that it is entirely UNIX formatted and the files you mentioned above are in DOS format. If you want to get a patch that actually works try this.
Don't open this up in a text editor as it may change the formatting. I used this patch in conjunction with another patch for gcc 4.4 on Slackware 13.0 and pdftk runs fine. I tested converting and combining some pdf's and it worked without any issues.
