Re: [evince] How to build from source on ubuntu lucid

[BM <automessagebuffer gmail com>]

Thank you all for your quick answer!

I'm trying to recompile (just recompile,not update my system version
of evince) a modified version of 2.30.3.
That's also because I didn't manage to resolve all dependencies
(gtk+-30 for example) for the latest version, but that it is not so
important after all. I'm happy with this version, but the font/bkgrnd
colour selection component.

So I tried doing this as advised:

>/.../evince $ mkdir myevince
> ~/.../evince $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=$PWD/myevince
> ~/.../evince $ make
> ~/.../evince $ make install
> ~/.../evince $ ./myevince/bin/evince

but at the end the command "make install" aborted with error:
...
...
...
libtool: install: error: cannot install `libpdfdocument.la' to a
directory not ending in /usr/local/lib/evince/2/backends
make[3]: *** [install-backendLTLIBRARIES] Errore 1
make[3]: uscita dalla directory «/home/mario/evince-2.30.3/backend/pdf»
make[2]: *** [install-am] Errore 2
make[2]: uscita dalla directory «/home/mario/evince-2.30.3/backend/pdf»
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Errore 1
make[1]: uscita dalla directory «/home/mario/evince-2.30.3/backend»
make: *** [install-recursive] Errore 1

Pardon me if I dare to much, but wouldn't it be better if somebody
would install a fresh copy of ubuntu and then try to recompile the
version 2.30.3 of evince? And after all put the command history on the
net?

I'm new to developing this kind of applications so excuse my ignorance.
Thank you all!
