Actually, it builds but it lacks printing support.

Re: Gtk3 is coming to get you
Can you not directly send the PDF to the printer via cups-pdf?
Edit: sorry, bullshit.
But there must be a way to print PDFs directly without frontend. I guess poppler does just this.
Edit 2: bullshit - not poppler.
But lpr does it! And I wasn't completely wrong, you need cups-pdf for it: http://terokarvinen.com/2011/print-pdf- ... -lpr-p-pdf

Re: Gtk3 is coming to get you
Just ran across this:
http://seasonofcode.com/pages/jfbview.html
I have been playing with different stuff on killx for pdf reading, so I'm going to see if I can get it to work there, but it might be something worth considering elsewhere. I'll post more if I get it working.
Edit: Works fine on Debian. Pure FB implementation, but takes control of all the screen...not really exactly what I was looking for, but would work fine for just reading a pdf. It's a bitch to build on killx. Main program requires 2 deps, those each require 3 deps, which all require 4 deps...ad infinum. :P

Re: Gtk3 is coming to get you
OK, throw me on the grill for asking a dumb question - is the package removed or is it an orphan waiting for a new maintainer - or for someone to fork it?
Re: Gtk3 is coming to get you
Yes. It is removed, and an orphan waiting for a new maintainer - or for someone to fork it. For now, you should look for alternatives or try to build it yourself. If you already have it you can keep it until it breaks.Potatohead wrote:OK, throw me on the grill for asking a dumb question - is the package removed or is it an orphan waiting for a new maintainer - or for someone to fork it?

Digging this up as I had the same problem; I'm using Atril, which is the MATE version of evince (GTK2 - for now).
