Re: LuaHPDF library

[Cedric Mauclair <cedric.mauclair@...>]

Allright, I finally made it work with the sources from the git
repository. I had to add a few lines of code in the hpdf.h file:
typedef HPDF_HANDLE   HPDF_Dict;
typedef HPDF_Dict     HPDF_EmbeddedFile;
typedef HPDF_Dict     HPDF_OutputIntent;
typedef HPDF_HANDLE   HPDF_Xref;

Without those, it complained about '...' missing or '=' or something
like '__asm__' (I don't remember well). I don't understand these very
well and I didn't tried very hard. The two in the middle are from the
hpdf_objects.h file which is not included.

The demo worked fine! :D The library is awesome! Just need to figure
out a way to write text on a curve and it will be perfect.

There is only a small catch however, but I think this is due to some
compilation trick. In order to make the demo work, I have to export
the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH with my library directory (which is not the
typical /usr/(local/)lib but /opt), otherwise it doesn't find the
hpdf.dylib file. The problem is that if I export it in my
bash_profile, MacVim (and probably other) doesn't launch anymore.

So, is there a flags to set when compiling Haru PDF library to have a
.so instead of the .dylib thing (DYnamic LIBrary?) ? As it may be
related to my platform, MacOSX, I will try to replace '-shared' with
'-bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup' (if any), it worked last time ;-).
I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for your help.
