I updated the package. Apart from the fixes (please test it), most notably I removed the poppler-based fbpdf2, and renamed "fbpdf" as "fbpdf-mupdf" instead of "neatfbpdf", still to avoid conflict with "fbida" package. Those are just my own decisions, so they can be changed again.

If you want poppler-based variant, see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fbpdf-poppler-git.

Just some information, 2025-01-10.

To confirm that this tool is still working and veeeeeeeeery valuable.

Today after almost 3 years, the developer has made some small git repo updates,

N 2025-01-10 17:28  fbpdf: compute text
N 2025-01-10 16:57  doc.h: remove fbval_
  2022-06-24 09:02  fbpdf.1: update and

He updated and minor changed all the ".c" c files. I tested after the PKGBUILD update and everything seems to work fine.

Remember that this "fbpdf-git" PKGBUILD uses the "mupdf" backend. Which have some nice things like rotation etc.

Yeah. It's working again now. Thanks

I removed the package from my system. And installed it again with makepkg.

xlucn commented on 2024-09-15 01:40 (UTC)

@m04060, can you first try rebuild the package locally (makepkg -f)? It should build against the library that's currently on your system.

The official Arch package "libmupdf" was updated on September 2024:

Notice the "24.9" there.

After this, the PKGBUILD "fbpdf-git" stopped working. It looks for a "24.8":

fbpdf-mupdf: error while loading shared libraries: libmupdf.so.24.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@xlucn Believe it or not, I hadn't guessed that was the proper way to install fbpdf-git. I naively assumed that everything in AUR was installable in the same way. Thank you.

My feedback on the latest PKGBUILD updates:

  • everything builds fine, no error message
  • I'm using the AUR helper "yay"
  • the installed binaries "/usr/bin/fbpdf-mupdf" and "/usr/bin/fbdjvu" work fine
  • I also have the official Arch packgage "fbida" which installs the binary "/usr/bin/fbpdf" and depends on "poppler-glib"; no conflict with "fbpdf-git"

Thanks xlucn for caring and maintaining this usefull tool.

xlucn commented on 2023-11-18 18:20 (UTC)

That's what I figured.

This is an AUR package. You can install with 1. cloning this repo https://aur.archlinux.org/fbpdf-git.git 2. go into the repo folder, build and install with makepkg -si

Alternatively, you can use an AUR helper.

glyn commented on 2023-11-18 18:15 (UTC)

@xlucn I issued sudo pacman -S fbpdf-git and it failed with a message saying the target was not found. I didn't see any sign of a build.

xlucn commented on 2023-11-18 18:12 (UTC)

@haawda, It can be discussed.

Maybe I will remove the poppler dependency again :) It's not built by default in Makefile, which I forgot. I will update again soon.

@glyn, maybe I misunderstood what you mean by "not found". Were you referring to the build failure then? Anyway you can install directly without a AUR helper, of course :)
