 Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2014 10:36 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Looking for a djvu viewer without qt |
 |
|
Hello List, I am looking for a lightweight djvu viewer and I can't find one so I decided to post here cause I suppose that I'm searching in the wrong places (I can't imagine that every viewer will require either the QT libraries or a big piece of Gnome). The standard clients I found so far are
djview: This one requires QT which I don't want to compile just to view sporadically some djvu document
evince: This one has a lot of Gnome dependencies also too heavy on my system running X + fvwm essentially. I do have the gtk libraries installed so I'm leaning towards this viewer.
fbpdf: This one only uses app-text/djvu which I do have installed (it doesn't seem to require the viewer nor the Qt components) but the problem is that switching to console doesn't seem practical. Also it's not on the portage tree and I'd have to maintain the ebuild.
Do you know of any client only needing X? I have all the libraries in app-text/djvu so currently I'm converting to PS and viewing with gv...

potuz ... well, generally some sort of graphic toolkit is used along with X, app-text/apvlv[djvu] may be what you're looking for ...

Thanks Khayyam for the tip! I may have a wrong USE combination but indeed could install app-text/apvlv +djvu, the ebuild only checks for app-text/djvu as your post shows without checking for app-text/djview (the one that needs Qt). However, I could not manage to open a single djvu file so I suppose that the libraries (like QT or so) are a runtime dependency that the ebuild is not checking. I didn't have much time to check if there was some configuration that I may be missing, but it just looks as if the application is only recognizing pdf files.
EDIT: I guess there's a problem with the ebuild, I compiled from source passing the option to cmake explicitly and I can view djvu files fine! thanks again for the tip, this is precisely what I needed. I'll correct the ebuild and submit the bug report |

potuz ... you're welcome. You might want to post a link to the bug here and mark the thread [SOLVED].
With the app-text/zathura-djvu plugin ... but it has a dependency on gtk+:3, dev-libs/girara, etc, so quite a lot of dependencies. Also, this will pull in sys-apps/dbus which not everyone wants on their system.

I couldn't figure out what's wrong with the Ebuild. I thought at first that it was the use of the cmake-utils eclass, but at least I couldn't fix it. I am marking this thread as solved though cause apvlv works fantastically. |
