@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.

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.

@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 :)
haawda commented on 2023-11-18 18:02 (UTC)
Why not a split PKGBUILD?
glyn commented on 2023-11-18 18:01 (UTC)
Thanks for the swift response!
I'm not knowingly using an AUR helper. Should I be? I gather arch doesn't support them (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers).
I'll try again after you submit a patch.

Are you using an AUR helper? The package is still here if that's what you suspect.
However, I noticed that the build fails currently, probably due to libmupdf providing a shared library as a change recently. I will try submit a patch here, please try installing it again.
P.S. Now that the package built with shared mupdf library is also small in size, I will merge mupdf-based and poppler-based builds back to one package. After that poppler needs to be installed, I hope that's OK for everyone.

Is this still available? I tried to install it using pacman and it was not found.

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.
