2 ========
4 tpdfview (tiny PDF viewer, or tokkee's PDF viewer, choose whatever you like
5 best) is a Portable Document Format (PDF) viewer. It was developed with
6 presentations and 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 * asciidoc, xsltproc:
21 The AsciiDoc text document format is used to write the manpages.
23 * libcairo:
24 The 2D vector graphics library is used for the actual drawing of the PDF
25 on screen.
27 * libgtk-2.0:
28 The cross-plattform GIMP Toolkit (GTK+) is used to create the graphical
29 user interface.
31 * libpoppler-glib:
32 The (GLib-based) PDF rendering library is used for handling the PDF files.
34 Configuring / Compiling / Installing
35 ------------------------------------
37 To configure, build and install tpdfview with the default settings, run
38 `./configure && make && make install'. For detailed, generic instructions
39 see INSTALL. For a complete list of configure options and their description,
40 run `./configure --help'.
42 By default, tpdfview will be installed into `/opt/tpdfview'. You can adjust
43 this setting by specifying the `--prefix' configure option - see INSTALL for
44 details. If you pass DESTDIR=<path> to `make install', <path> will be
45 prefixed to all installation directories. This might be useful when creating
46 packages for tpdfview.
