-3.) configure doesn't find my jpeglib / my t1lib!
+3.) What libraries do I need to compile swftools?
+
+    You need t1lib and jpeglib to compile pdf2swf.
+    Links:
+       t1lib: 
+        ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/linux/libs/graphics/t1lib-1.3.1.tar.gz
+       t1lib (mirrored here):

+       jpeglib: 
+        http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
+
+    Furthermore, if you want to compile avi2swf, you need the avifile library:

-5.) Is there a pdf2swf for Windows?
-
-    No. pdf2swf only runs on Unix platforms, like Linux, *BSD, MacOS X, etc.
-    There have been some reports on more or less successfully compling pdf2swf on Win32 using
-    Cygwin (http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin), however, there's no working version yet.
-
-    If you want to use pdf2swf, find a Unix machine.

-6.) Is there *going to* be a pdf2swf for Windows?
+6.) Is there a pdf2swf for Windows?

 
 

-    Probably. As soon as we find the time to look into the Cygwin compile issues.
+    Windows versions of all SWF utilities (except for avi2swf) are in
+       http://www.quiss.org/swftools/swftools-win32.zip
+    .
+    Notice: You need to unzip the Archive to C:\SWFTOOLS to make pdf2swf work-
+    otherwise it won't be able to find it's fonts.
