    <para>The <application>Evince</application> package contains a document
    viewer for multiple document formats. It currently supports PDF,
    Postscript, DjVu, TIFF and DVI. This is useful for viewing documents of
    various types using one simple application instead of the multiple document
    viewers that once existed on the GNOME Desktop.</para>

    <para>Install <application>Evince</application> by running the following
    commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=$GNOME_PREFIX \
            --libexecdir=$GNOME_PREFIX/lib/evince \

    <para>The test suite for this package requires a functional
    <application>dogtail</application> installation. Requirements and
    download information can be found at

    href="../../xincludes/gnome-prefix.xml"/>

    <para><parameter>--libexecdir=$GNOME_PREFIX/lib/evince</parameter>: This
    parameter is used so that the <application>Evince</application> internal
    support programs are installed in the preferred location of <filename
    class='directory'>$GNOME_PREFIX/lib/evince</filename> instead of <filename
    class='directory'>$GNOME_PREFIX/libexec</filename>.</para>

    <para><parameter>--without-keyring</parameter>: This parameter disables the
    use of <application>gnome-keyring</application>. Remove parameter if
    <application>gnome-keyring</application> is installed.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-nautilus</parameter>: This parameter disables the
    <application>Nautilus</application> Plugin. Remove parameter if
    <application>Nautilus</application> is installed.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-pdf</parameter>: This parameter disables the PDF
    Backend. Remove parameter if <application>Poppler</application> is
    installed.</para>

    <!-- gobject-introspection is recommended for gnome (see e.g. gtk3) -->
    <para><parameter>--enable-introspection</parameter>: by default, the
    gobject-introspection support is turned off, even though that package
    is an expected component of a <application>GNOME</application> system.
    The introspection support is, however, required if you intend to build
    <xref linkend="gnome-documents"/>,
    so it is enabled here. Most BLFS users can probably omit it and find
    local files using e.g. <command>find -name '*.pdf'</command>.</para>

    <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
    href="../../xincludes/gtk-doc-rebuild.xml"/>

    <para><option>--enable-dvi</option>: Use this parameter if you have the
    <application>teTeX</application> or <application>TeX Live</application>
    package installed and you wish to build support to view DVI files.</para>

    <para><option>--enable-t1lib</option>: Use this parameter if you have the
    <application>t1lib</application> package installed and you wish to build
    support for Type1 fonts in the DVI viewer.</para>

    <para><option>--disable-static</option>: This switch prevents the static
    libraries being installed.</para>
