Re: Problem compiling Evince 2.29.91

[Jose Aliste <jose aliste gmail com>]

Hi,

if you are trying to add new functionality to Evince, then I would
recommend you to use the latest version of it (or even better, the dev
version from git), since it would be much easier to eventually merge
your functionality in.  To solve your problem, what I do (in my
ubuntu) to have a dev version of evince is:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/evince_install/
make
make install

Then, when you want to use the dev version of evince you need to
execute directly from the directory $/home/evince_install/bin. It
works for me.

Greetings,

José
