System: FreeBSD rt.ewc.edu 4.9-STABLE-20031202-JPSNAP FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE-20031202-JPSNAP #0: Tue Dec 2 00:30:13 GMT 2003 root@tora.jp.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386


	
>Description:
The port print/pdftk requires gcj to compile.
The following patch, based on a converstation found in Google, addresses this issue by
having pdftk use gcj41. This includes corrections to the included Makefiles and Sources via REINPLACE

	
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to install pdftk using an up-to-date ports tree
	
>Fix:
Apply the following patch (cd /usr/ports/print; patch < pdftk.patch)
I tested this patch on both 4.9-STABLE and 5.X-STABLE, the resulting binary performed basic operations without any problems.
The resulting binary has not been fully tested for all possible operations and needs complete regression testing.
