    <para>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.</para>

    <title>Installation of Poppler</title>

    <caution>
      <para><application>Poppler</application> will overwrite command-line
      utilities and man pages previously installed by the
      <application>Xpdf</application> package. If you prefer to keep the
      <application>Xpdf</application> versions of these files, pass the
      <option>--disable-utils</option> parameter to the
      <command>configure</command> command below.</para>
    </caution>

    <para>The <command>configure</command> command below includes three
    parameters which disable various rendering back-ends. Ensure you remove
    any of the parameters for which you have the corresponding dependency
    installed. Install <application>Poppler</application> by running the
    following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --sysconfdir=/etc \
            --enable-zlib \
            --disable-cairo-output \
            --disable-poppler-glib \
            --disable-gtk-test &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>This package does not come with a test suite.</para>

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>make install &amp;&amp;
install -v -m755 -d      /usr/share/doc/poppler-&poppler-version; &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644 README* /usr/share/doc/poppler-&poppler-version;</userinput></screen>

    <para>If you downloaded the additional encoding data package, install
    it by issuing the following command after unpacking the tarball and
    changing into the newly-created package source directory (as the
    <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user):</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>make prefix=/usr install</userinput></screen>

  <sect2 role="commands">
    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para><parameter>--enable-zlib</parameter>: This parameter forces the build
    to link with the system-installed
    <filename class='libraryfile'>libz</filename> library to enable compressed
    PDF functionality.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-cairo-output</parameter>: This parameter
    disables building the <application>cairo</application> graphics backend.
    Remove this parameter if you have <application>cairo</application>
    installed.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-poppler-glib</parameter> and
    <parameter>--disable-gtk-test</parameter>: These parameters disable
    building the <application>GLib</application> wrapper and
    <application>GTK+</application> test program. Remove these parameters if
    you have <application>GTK+</application>-2 installed. Note that if you
    plan on building <xref linkend="evince"/>, you must build the
    <application>GLib</application> wrapper.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-static</parameter>: Prevent static libraries
    being built and installed.</para>
