My intention is trying to build a lightweight version of k2pdfopt for my Alfred workflow. I need only four command line options: "-as", "-mode copy", "-dpi" and "-o".
What instructions are you trying to follow? The instructions I include with the source code say this:
Code:
Build Steps on OS/X (64-bit, gcc 6.2.0, compiled on OSX 10.12 Sierra)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. gcc -Ofast -Wall -m64 -o k2pdfopt.o -c k2pdfopt.c

2. g++ -Ofast -m64 -o k2pdfopt k2pdfopt.o -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -lk2pdfopt -lwillus -lgocr -ltesseract -lleptonica -ldjvu -lmupdf -lfreetype -ljbig2 -ljpeglib -lopenjpeg -lpng -lzlib -lpthread
The trick is going to be getting all of the libraries to compile. Honestly, I don't think this is worth your effort--you would have to substantially modify the code to really strip out everything but those options. Why not just use the OSX binary? Is the extra size really a problem?
