Static library build from xpdf reader source with most dependencies(zlib, libpng, freetype2) included within.

All the optional dependencies (fontconfig and libpaper) are disabled.

Only Threads are required dependency.

Note:- For Pre-built library/binaries see releases

CMake is used throughout the whole configuration and building process. You can get more information about CMake in the documentation.

CMake encourages to use out-of-source builds to not to pollute the directory with source code with compiled binaries. Typical building scenario on UNIX-like system looks as following:

mkdir ./libxpdf-build
cd ./libxpdf-build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../libxpdf
make

Use -G option to select build system other than based on Makefile. To pass any variable to CMake use -D option.

Use CMAKE_C_COMPILER variable to override default C compiler, and CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER variable to override default C++ compiler.

Use CMAKE_C_FLAGS variable to add specific compilation flags to C compiler, and CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS variable for C++ compiler.

To set other xpdf build options read their INSTALL

Xpdf tools can be build along library using BUILD_TOOLS cmake option. Disabled by default.
