Compilation on Linux Mint 15 Fails

[wbrenna]

Plenty of errors on compiling on this system. The automake routine needs to be performed, libopenjpeg is not found (libopenjpeg2 is the installation candidate on this system), /usr/lib/ structure is different (/usr/lib/libi386, for example), liblcms is a different version, libfontconfig needs to be linked, and .deps/libutil_la-Logger.Tpo is not created for some reason.

The libfontconfig error is a linker error, unable to find FcInit, and appears with gcc-4.7. I believe a downgrade to 4.4 may help.

This has been mostly fixed due to a generalization of the configure.ac script in the addpoppler branch. Update to the newest branch. If it still fails with an FcInit error (which it did for me) change the bottom of src/Makefile.am to read

xournalpp_LDADD = \
        pdf/libpoppler.a \
        pdf/libpoppler-glib.a \
        @PACKAGE_LIBS@ $(INTLLIBS) \
        $(top_builddir)/src/util/libutil.la \
        /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so

instead of

xournalpp_LDADD = \
        @PACKAGE_LIBS@ $(INTLLIBS) \
        $(top_builddir)/src/util/libutil.la \
        pdf/libpoppler.a \
        pdf/libpoppler-glib.a

As things progress perhaps this may be improved.
