OK, I figured out a solution to the fontconfig problem. 'autogen.sh' in jharker's source code was setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH to be something that wasn't correct for the VMWare image. Then I ran into an issue of it not being able to find liberscribble. I found that on iRex's developer website and put that in the proper place. Then 'configure' finished properly. However, when I run make, I now get the following error:
Code:
main.cc: In member function `virtual void* StandardSecurityHandler::getAuthData()':
main.cc:130: error: `StandardAuthData' has not been declared
So I looked around iRex's web repository of their released source code and found that the latest version of 'SecurityHandler.h' under 'poppler/include' defines 'StandardAuthData' but the 'SecurityHandler.h' in the VMWare image does not. I guess this means that the poppler library is also out of date.
So, does that mean the VMWare image is out of date and there is no solution other than installing the iRex sources from scratch on a pure debian installation?
Any help/advice/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
