@xlucn
You might also have interest in adopting these other in the AUR. There are these two other very nice tools by Ali,
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fbff-git
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fbpad-git
Currently with outdated PKGBUILD's and the AUR maintainer doesnt seem to respond.
@xlucn, wow ! You are fast.
... pushed the solution
... Hope that's okay.
Tested and confirmed . Everything perfect. Thank you some much again.
I received the mail of outdate flagging earlier, I might just have pushed the solution 1 min after your comment :)
In it, I explicitly build fbdjvu (just like the fbpdf-poppler-git package). Hope that's okay.
The PKGBUILD needs some adjustment. After the recent commits,
N 2025-01-24 10:27 fbpdf: take black level as a numerical p
2025-01-11 07:44 Makefile: build only fbpdf by default

He recently changed the Makefile,
-all: fbpdf fbdjvu
+all: fbpdf
+The default target is fbpdf; to build the other two, they must be
+explicitly specified.
So. Because the Arch PKGBUILD contains,
install -Dm755 fbdjvu $pkgdir/usr/bin/fbdjvu
Expecting to find a built fbdjvu.
It now fails with,
==> Entering fakeroot environment...
==> Starting package()...
install: cannot stat 'fbdjvu': No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
Aborting...
-> error making: fbpdf-git-exit status 4
-> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
fbpdf-git - exit status 4
Just some information, 2025-01-10. To confirm that this tool is still working, very usefull and valuable, and the PKGBUILD very appreciated.
Today after almost 3 years, the developer has made some small git repo updates,
N 2025-01-24 10:27 fbpdf: take black level as a numerical p

He updated and minor changed all the ".c" c files. I tested the Makefile update and everything seems to work fine.
On Archlinux it seems the Makefile still needs the small patch,
9 - $(CC) -o $@ $^ $(LDFLAGS) -lmupdf -lmupdf-third -lmupdf-pkcs7
10 + $(CC) -o $@ $^ $(LDFLAGS) -lmupdf -lm
The PKGBUILD, although, needs some adjustment. Read my other above comment.
Remember that this "fbpdf-git" PKGBUILD uses the "mupdf" backend. Which have some nice things like rotation etc.
For some reason it's not showing any image output in kitty on arch for me:

Yeah. It's working again now. Thanks
I removed the package from my system. And installed it again with makepkg.
@m04060, can you first try rebuild the package locally (makepkg -f)? It should build against the library that's currently on your system.

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.

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.
