Compiling epdfview for Om2008.8

Sun Aug 10 06:06:26 CEST 2008

Hi there,

I am trying to build and install a PDF reader and Epdfview [0] seemed
like a good choice.

Someone has provided an epdfview binary [1], but it does not seem to
work on the om2008.8 stack [2]. So I decided to try and recompile it.

I studied the Toolchain page [3] and managed to build the sample project.

I downloaded the epdfview source [4] and I tried to different naive approaches.

The first was to simply run om-conf  on that source directory. The
second was to follow the instructions on the wiki [5] and modify the
sample project to include the source files from epdfview. Both
methods failed; probably because I need to do something more
complicated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The details:

Method 1:

------------------

Method 2:

I copied the contents of the epdfview src directory into the src
directory of the openmoko example project. I was careful not to
override Makefile.am. I merged both versions of Makefile.am (see
attachment).

I then followed the instructions on the wiki to basically replace all
occurences of "openmoko-sample2" with "epdfview":
* the directory name
* src/Makefile.am
* autogen.sh
* configure.ac
* the files in the data folder: Makefile.am, openmoko-sample.png,
openmoko-sample.desktop, Makefile.in

I then proceeded to run om-conf (although I already suspected this
would not work here):

------------------------

I suspect that the problem is that I need to include more of the
material from the original epdfview source. I only reused the src
directory, but it also has an "m4" and "data" directory and even a
Makefile.am in its root directory. I don't really know how to properly
mix all this material; it's mostly abracadabra at this point, although
I'm learning...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll try to update the wiki
with whatever I learn.

Kind regards,

Sjors
