1 tpdfview
2 ========
4 tpdfview (tiny PDF viewer, or tokkee's PDF viewer, choose whatever you like
5 best) displays PDF files. It was developed with presentations and
6 accompanying material in mind.
8 This is free and open source software, licensed under the 2-clause BSD
9 license. See COPYING for details.
11 Prerequisites
12 -------------
14 To compile the tpdfview package from source you need:
16 * A build environment: autotools, libtool, C compiler, ...
18 * A POSIX + Single UNIX Specification compatible C library.
20 * libcairo:
21 The 2D vector graphics library is used for the actual drawing of the PDF
22 on screen.
24 * libgtk-2.0:
25 The cross-plattform GIMP Toolkit (GTK+) is used to create the graphical
26 user interface.
28 * libpoppler-glib:
29 The (GLib-based) PDF rendering library is used for handling the PDF files.
31 Configuring / Compiling / Installing
32 ------------------------------------
34 To configure, build and install tpdfview with the default settings, run
35 `./configure && make && make install'. For detailed, generic instructions
36 see INSTALL. For a complete list of configure options and their description,
37 run `./configure --help'.
39 By default, tpdfview will be installed into `/opt/tpdfview'. You can adjust
40 this setting by specifying the `--prefix' configure option - see INSTALL for
41 details. If you pass DESTDIR=<path> to `make install', <path> will be
42 prefixed to all installation directories. This might be useful when creating
43 packages for tpdfview.
