Unfortunately, the source code seems to be all there, but the makefiles and configuration info isn't. So, there is no way to build the code as is. Has anyone put together the necessary files for building pdfviewer?

Did you get any further on that subject?
Is that the pdfviewer from
https://github.com/pocketbook-free/pdfviewer ?
Did you manage to compile it?
And change font hinting?
Or maybe just add a gamma setting (the e-ink display is linear, whereas most rendering software assumes a display gamma of 2.2)?
Any hint on how to compile this code would be helpful.
This pdfviewer seems to be using poppler, which needs a lot of ressources. A lightweight PDF viewer would rather use mupdf (as kindlepdfviewer does). There is a comparison of both engines at
