1 MuPDF[1] rendering library is used to do the actual work, so it needs
2 to be built and installed to use llpp, MuPDF's README[2] describes how
3 to build it and lists its dependencies. Snapshots of MuPDF itself can
4 be found here[3], dependencies here[4]
6 Note that MuPDF is a moving target therefore bellow is the commit id
7 of the git version of MuPDF that this version of llpp is known to work
9 7d181099272d9c0e92c4488ceaa95b0d8bd10f1e
11 llpp also depends on OCaml[5], lablGL[6] and GLUT[7], having a C
12 compiler wouldn't hurt either.
14 To build llpp "the easy way" one can invoke `sh buildall.sh' which
15 will first attempt to automatically fetch lablGL, mupdf, mupdf's
16 prerequisites[8] and build them, then, if everything goes fine, it
17 will proceed building llpp itself. Note that OCaml and GLUT still need
18 to be installed separately, also, in addition to the usual suspects
19 (i.e. GCC, make, binutils, OCaml) you will need `wget' and `unzip'for
22 Otherwise, provided that all prereqs are already built, one should
23 invoke `sh build.sh' from the top of llpp's directory, prior to that
24 it's advisable to review build.sh so that it matches local mupdf
25 installation (or lack thereof)
27 If everything goes fine llpp binary will appear, it can be used like so:
29 $ ./llpp /path/to/some.pdf
31 $ ./llpp -p password /path/to/some.password.protected.pdf
