With python3 the problem goes as

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/smoothscan-fontgen.py", line 23, in <module>
    import fontforge
ImportError: No module named 'fontforge'

I'm using
python 3.3.2-2
fontforge 20120731_b-6
libharu 2.2.1-4
potrace 1.11-1
leptonica 1.69-8

After a good beginning (55 Input Files, 28 fonts) I get this error:
ImportError: 'psMat' is not a built-in module
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/smoothscan-fontgeh.py", line 24, in import psMat

and also (maybe it is important)
libharu error: error_no=1017, detail_no=2
Error: PDF Generation problem.
System Error: No such file or directory

fontforge and libharu are installed.

I get this error:

The libltdl version on my system (Debian 9) is 2.4.6-2. Do you have any idea how to fix this, @ncraun ?

Hi,

I have several questions here, I'm not sure if I should split them into separate issues.

I'm trying to make a git package for Archlinux. You may see the whole building script at
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sm/smoothscan-git/PKGBUILD

The problems...
How to properly generate the configure script from configure.am?

Thanks.

Am I right assuming that this needs python2 instead of python3? If so how to properly specify that at build time? Using python2 I get something like this:

$ smoothscan before.tif -o after.pdf
output: after.pdf
1 Input Files:
6 fonts
Using Fontforge version: 20120731
Scaling to x: 53 y: 53

.......
libharu error: error_no=1017, detail_no=2
Error: PDF Generation problem.
System Error: No such file or directory

I'm using
python 3.3.2-2
fontforge 20120731_b-6
libharu 2.2.1-4
potrace 1.11-1

Is this tool still supported? The latest update is from 2013
