pdftk currently fails to build, full log file attached but the nub of it seems to be this error

As an aside - why can't we just install as a standard Java app? gcc-java is a big load of epic failure.

I agree that gcc java has been problematic for pdftk (or perhaps pdftk is problematic for gcc java) but I was not aware of an alternative. What alternative are you suggesting? What does it mean to you to "install as a standard Java app"? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32382#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
