1. the newer setups of the libraries listed on the above page dont have statically linked libraries so if you want to link libraries statically to pdf2swf either build all the above said libraries or you link them dynamically and push them into windows/system32 for pdf2swf to launch.
3. Dont miss to change config.h in pdf directory to say #defined boolean unsigned char. if you dont do this then libjpeg will bounce back to you if pdf contains jpeg when you execute pdf2swf on such a file.
4. its easier to do the process on cygwin's full installation. All the libraries and static versions come along with the cygwin install only.
5. Read the errors carefully.. :).
