gebo-pdf2htmlex-action

A pdf2htmlEX-dependent PDF converter

Dependencies

At the moment, installing the main pdf2htmlEX dependency isn't as easy as running apt. The following directions work on Ubuntu 14.04. They were adapted from [http://blog.framebench.com/our-love-for-open-source/] (http://blog.framebench.com/our-love-for-open-source/).

Version control

You'll need these to obtain some of the dependencies. Chances are, some of these are already installed:

sudo apt-get install git 
sudo apt-get install subversion
sudo apt-get install cvs

Miscellaneous

These are all needed by one package or another:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cmake
sudo apt-get install libopenjpeg-dev
sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev 
sudo apt-get install zlibc 
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install libtiff-dev
sudo apt-get install libgif-dev
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev 
sudo apt-get install libuninameslist-dev
sudo apt-get install xorg-dev
sudo apt-get install gettext
sudo apt-get install libpango1.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev
sudo apt-get install python-dev

git clone --depth 1 git://github.com/coolwanglu/pdf2htmlEX.git
cd pdf2htmlEX

Poppler

wget http://poppler.freedesktop.org/poppler-0.26.5.tar.xz
tar xvf poppler-0.26.5.tar.xz
cd poppler-0.26.5
./configure --enable-xpdf-headers
make
sudo make install

cd ..
mkdir fontforge
cd fontforge
mkdir src
cd src
git clone https://github.com/coolwanglu/fontforge.git
cd fontforge
./bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/freetype/freetype2.git

cd code
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..
#?cd ./fontforge-20120731-b/

cmake . && make
sudo make install
