Evince ported (with DjVu support only)

[Viacheslav]

Are there any plans to fix the page redrawing problem in fullscreen?
And where is the modified source? I want to change the apparently hardcoded startup defaults.

maybe in a distant future: I have a pretty tight schedule for a next couple months, so it's unlikely that I'll be able to find time for that soon.

Here is the build instruction.

First you need to compile a mime database. Copy the file /usr/local/poky/eabi-glibc/arm/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/bin/update-mime-database and the attached freedesktop.org.xml to emulator. The last one is the file /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml from my build system with only image/vnd.djvu mime type in it. Execute the following commands on emulator:

mkdir -p /media/mmcblk0p1/Programs/_evince/share/mime/packages/
mv /home/root/freedesktop.org.xml /media/mmcblk0p1/Programs/_evince/share/mime/packages/
/home/root/update-mime-database /media/mmcblk0p1/Programs/_evince/share/mime
cd /media/mmcblk0p1/Programs/
tar cvf /home/root/evince-mime.tar _evince

Copy evince-mime.tar to your build system and untar it into /media/mmcblk0p1/Programs/ directory.

Download the file djvulibre-3.5.22.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/projects/djvu/files/, apply the attached djvulibre-3.5.22.patch, set environment variables from the attached file irex_env.sh and execute the following commands:

autoreconf
./configure --prefix=/media/mmcblk0p1/Programs/_evince --host=arm-poky-linux-gnueabi --disable-desktopfiles --disable-djview --disable-i18n --disable-xmltools
make
make install-libdjvu

This will install only djvu libraries without any binaries.

Download evince-2.22.2.tar.bz2 from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/evince/2.22/ , apply the attached evince-2.22.2.patch and execute the following commands:

autoreconf
libtoolize --copy --force
LDFLAGS='-L/media/mmcblk0p1/Programs/_evince/lib -L/usr/local/poky/eabi-glibc/arm/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib' ./configure --prefix=/media/mmcblk0p1/Programs/_evince --host=arm-poky-linux-gnueabi --disable-nautilus --disable-thumbnailer --disable-pdf --disable-tiff --enable-djvu --disable-dvi --disable-t1lib --without-libgnome --without-keyring --disable-dbus
make
make install

After that compare your /media/mmcblk0p1/Programs/_evince with content of the archive I posted earlier in this thread and make necessary adjustments.

I installed Evince when it was realeased in this forum and it worked very well. Today I updated Xournal and FBreader and then I noticed that djvu files figured as unknow files and when I tried to open them they would not open. But if I went to 'programs' and clicked 'evince' it worked.

So I tried to uninstall and install the three programs (FBReader, Xournal and Evince) without results.

I removed all the files from 'programs' folder and updated the DR1000 firmaware to 1.7.1. Then I installed again the extension for djvu, and alas, they were not unknown anymore. But now the problem is that evince do not open. I have tried clicking over the djvu files and clicking directly over 'evince' in 'programs' folder.

I want the djvu back. Help!, please.

I have begun again installing the firmware and the three programs. It looks like some problem of the evince with the 1.7.1 firmware.

I've just installed 1.7.1 update and it seems like I was able to reproduce this issue. Try to unpack the contents of the attached archive (MD5: ab15c76b37c9827e6d0efdec6e95be09) into the root of your device. You will not need to reboot it. Just try to open any DjVu file or start evince.

I've been trying to get a more up to date version of evince working for my DR as well as enable some more of the formats it supports, but I'm currently kinda stuck at the deployment stage.

I've managed to compile evince 0.24 (the latest version to compile without having to replace poky provided gtk-libraries or hack the build system to ignore version mismatches and hope for the best) including several dependencies (a.o. djvulibre, texlive, libglade and jpegsource) without the necessity to edit the configure and makefiles. Unfortunately once I try to run the resulting app I get some error messages about the app not being able to find the right subsystems for the particular format I'm trying to open.

Is someone here willing and able to help me with this?

I'll post my notes on how I build my version later this week.

Hello all! and thanx alot for all your efforts to port this great tool on the dr1000.
I installed the evince-2.22.2-dr-0.1 and then the evince-fix-1.7.1
The software works nice but opening a djvu file it freezed in the loading step.
I waited for more than 20mins but nothing happened except the sentence "caricamento in corso".
Any suggestion?
thanx alot and regards
