Building

Dependencies

• CMake, pkg-config
• GNU Getopt
• compilers support C++11, for example
• GCC >= 4.4.6
• I heard about successful build with Clang
• poppler >= 0.20.0 with xpdf headers (compile with --enable-xpdf-headers)
• Install libpng (and headers) BEFORE you compile poppler if you want background images generated
• Install poppler-data if your want CJK support
• fontforge (with header files)
• git version is recommended
• In case you cannot compile with the official code, you may try the tmp branch of my fork
• [Optional] ttfautohint
• run pdf2htmlEX with --external-hint-tool=ttfautohint to enable it
• [For Windows]
• Cygwin
• or MinGW, with some modifications to pdf2htmlEX. See pdf2htmlEX on TeX Wiki (in Japanese), special thanks to Haruhiko Okumura

Compiling

git clone git://github.com/coolwanglu/pdf2htmlEX.git
cd pdf2htmlEX
cmake . && make && sudo make install

Troubleshooting

• Make sure poppler has been compiled with --enable-xpdf-headers
  • Especially when you see something about goo/GooString.h
• Make sure C++11 is supported by your compiler
• Fontforge has not been linking friendly until recent:
  • Git version is recommended
  • If there's something wrong about 'spiroentrypoints.h', install header files of libspiro
  • If there's something wrong about 'undefined reference of Py_xxx', install header files of python-2.x
  • If there's something wrong about 'libintl.h', install gettext and set your system include path accordingly.
