This is useful for providing PDF rendering functionality as a shared library. &lfs72_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &poppler-md5sum; Download size: &poppler-size; Estimated disk space required: &poppler-buildsize; Estimated build time: &poppler-time; Additional Downloads Poppler Encoding Data Download (HTTP): Download MD5 sum: &poppler-data-md5sum; Download size: &poppler-data-size; The additional package consists of encoding files for use with Poppler. The encoding files are optional and Poppler will automatically read them if they are present. When installed, they enable Poppler to render CJK and Cyrillic properly. Poppler Dependencies Required Recommended , and Optional , , or , , , and (the libpoppler-qt4.so library is needed for PDF support in Okular). User Notes: Installation of Poppler Install Poppler by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --enable-zlib \ --disable-static \ --enable-xpdf-headers && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install && install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/poppler-&poppler-version; && install -v -m644 README* /usr/share/doc/poppler-&poppler-version; If you downloaded the additional encoding data package, install it by issuing the following commands: tar -xf ../poppler-data-&poppler-data-version;.tar.gz && cd poppler-data-&poppler-data-version; Now, as the root user: make prefix=/usr install Command Explanations : Install some old Xpdf headers required by certain programs (e.g. Okular, Libre Office and Inkscape). : This option makes Poppler link with the system-installed libz library to enable compressed PDF functionality. : This option enables support for HTTP using libcurl.
