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 50dbc1a356577f3df15a876f6adb716dea29bdc5
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 and build them, then, if everything goes fine, it will
17 proceed building llpp itself. Note that OCaml and GLUT still need to
18 be installed separately, also, in addition to the usual suspects (i.e.
19 GCC, make, binutils, OCaml) you will need `wget' and `git' for this
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
