Arch Linux User Repository

New release from different github repository
- compiles and runs on KF6 and QT6
- doesn't crash while opening documents with TOC
Runs a lot faster than poppler backend, some documents (especially those with big images) open 100 times faster.
- Printing is not supported (yet), WIP.
Sincerely,
lanconnected

The gumbo-parser ('gumbo') and the mujs libraries do not get linked to during the build. These should be removed from PKGBUILD depends and also from the CMake configuration.

On the other hand, there are missing dependencies from PKGBUILD, these should be declared (as per current Arch package guidelines):

• gcc-libs
• glibc
• kcoreaddons5
• ki18n5
• qt5-base

Thanks a lot. after removing the (MuPDF_THIRD_LIBRARY) i compiled successfully.

But when trying to open PDF files, some of them open perfectly, and some of them don't open and okular just crashes giving:

segmentation fault (core dumped)  okular

getting this error:

Edit: it seems that Okular still prefers Poppler unless explicitly told everytime by enabling "Show backend choice" option. I forcely disabled poppler with these commands:

mv /usr/lib/qt/plugins/okular/generators/{,.}okularGenerator_poppler.so
mv /usr/share/kservices5/{,.}okularPoppler.desktop

(Old comment)

I don't know why, but the file okularMupdf.desktop doesn't get into the package - it should go in /usr/share/kservices5/.

In my case, Okular wouldn't recognize the backend without it.
