This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 11.3 platform.

User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/epdfview
Install ePDFView by running the following commands:
patch -Np1 -i ../epdfview-0.1.8-fixes-2.patch && ./configure --prefix=/usr && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
For Desktop Environment users, further (optional) instructions are necessary for properly displaying epdfview.desktop in the menu. As root user:
for size in 24 32 48; do
ln -svf ../../../../epdfview/pixmaps/icon_epdfview-$size.png \
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/${size}x${size}/apps
done &&
unset size &&
update-desktop-database &&
gtk-update-icon-cache -t -f --include-image-data /usr/share/icons/hicolorpatch -Np1 -i ../epdfview-0.1.8-fixes-2.patch The patch does four things: fixes compiling with glib-2.32 or greater, corrects red appearing as blue with recent versions of poppler, allows the application to compile when Cups-2.4.2 has been installed, and fixes the display of embedded png images.
