Linux builds depend on a specific package manager

[kistlin]

Hello,

since some time ago, Linux packages are installed by calling apt-get in steps/01-install.sh.
This ties the builds down to a handful of Linux distributions.

For now I just patch the lines and install dependencies separately. Which is fine with me.

Long term could there be a command line option added, to not install dependencies?
Or maybe detect the package manager and depending on that install the right packages?

Hi @kistlin,

The goal of the project is to provide PDFium binaries, nothing more.
The build scripts in this repository are just a side-product of this process.
Those scripts only need to run on GitHub-hosted runners, and I have no intention of making them portable.

To build PDFium on unsupported Linux distributions, please follow the official instructions.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,
Benoit
