I have made a failed attempt to port the patch for bug 688636 to the current version of evince in debian stable (stretch) which is 3.22.1. The patch attempts to add a command line option to evince, so that it opens the pdf in a new window, even if it is currently open. I've attached the patch below, and it compiles, but when I run the binary I get:
(evince:8028): EvinceDocument-WARNING **: Error opening directory '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/evince/4/backends': No such file or directory
So possibly this is some build problem not directly related to the patch?
Any advice much appreciated! (patch appended to the end of this email).
Yours
Joseph
