[texworks] Fink Package (for MAC OS X) TeXworks 0.3 - Build error

[Prerna Atri]

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your valuable suggestions. We commented the compilation flag used
for enabling the poppler-xpdf headers and compiled TeXworks source. The
error reported earlier is no longer seen.

However, we are currently facing the following failure on TeXworks
compilation.
*
*
*
/sw/src/fink.build/texworks-0.3-1/texworks-0.3/../../../../opt/kde4/mac/include/poppler/qt4/poppler-optcontent.cc:428:34:
error: poppler-optcontent.moc: No such file or directory

The following build commands failed:
TeXworks:
CompileC
obj/TeXworks.build/Default/TeXworks.build/Objects-normal/i386/poppler-optcontent.o
/sw/src/fink.build/texworks-0.3-1/texworks-0.3/../../../../opt/kde4/mac/include/poppler/qt4/poppler-optcontent.cc
normal i386 c++ com.apple.compilers.gcc.4_2
(1 failure)
*

We searched for the .moc file but in vain. The poppler source folder for
10.7 has only the poppler-optcontent.cc file, which makes a reference to the
poppler-optcontent.moc file, but we have not been able to locate the actual
file.

Thanks,
Prerna Atri
