Poppler-0.26.4
Introduction to Poppler
The Poppler package contains a PDF
rendering library and command line tools used to manipulate PDF
files. This is useful for providing PDF rendering functionality as
a shared library.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.6
systemd platform.

Additional Downloads
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.

Installation of Poppler
In order to optionally run the test suite, additional download of
about 9 MB, using git-2.1.0, is necessary. Make sure that you do not
have the directory ../test.
git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/poppler/test ../test
Install Poppler by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--disable-static \
--enable-xpdf-headers &&
make
To test the results, issue: make
check.
Now, as the root user:
make install
The documents are installed using the following commands:
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/poppler-0.26.4 &&
install -v -m644 README* /usr/share/doc/poppler-0.26.4
If you downloaded the additional encoding data package, install it
by issuing the following commands as the root user:
tar -xf ../poppler-data-0.4.7.tar.gz &&
cd poppler-data-0.4.7
Now, as the root user:
make prefix=/usr install
Command Explanations
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--enable-xpdf-headers: Install some old
Xpdf headers required by certain
programs (e.g. Okular,
LibreOffice and Inkscape).
--enable-libcurl: Use libcurl for HTTP
support.
