# ePDFView-0.1.8

## Introduction to ePDFView

ePDFView is a free standalone lightweight PDF document viewer using Poppler and GTK+ libraries. It is a good replacement for Evince as it does not rely upon GNOME libraries.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-11.1 platform.

## Installation of ePDFView

Install ePDFView by running the following commands:

    patch -Np1 -i ../epdfview-0.1.8-fixes-2.patch &&
    ./configure --prefix=/usr &&
    make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

For Desktop Environment users, further (optional) instructions are necessary for properly displaying `epdfview.desktop` in the menu. As `root` user:

    for size in 24 32 48; do
      ln -svf ../../../../epdfview/pixmaps/icon_epdfview-$size.png \
              /usr/share/icons/hicolor/${size}x${size}/apps
    done &&
    unset size &&

    update-desktop-database &&
    gtk-update-icon-cache -t -f --include-image-data /usr/share/icons/hicolor

## Command Explanations

patch -Np1 -i ../epdfview-0.1.8-fixes-2.patch The patch does four things: fixes compiling with glib-2.32 or greater, corrects red appearing as blue with recent versions of poppler, allows the application to compile when Cups-2.4.1 has been installed, and fixes the display of embedded png images.
