Prerequisites

The following software is required to build pdf2djvu:

• C++11 compiler;
• GNU make;
• DjVuLibre_ (≥ 3.5.25), both the library and the command line tools;
• Poppler_ (≥ 0.62), including xpdf headers;
• pkg-config_.

The following software is recommended:

• gettext_ for internationalization;
• Exiv2_ (≥ 0.21) and libuuid (part of util-linux or e2fsprogs) for correctly dealing with XMP metadata;
• GraphicsMagick_ for the --fg-colors=N option.

For the -j/--jobs option, the compiler must support OpenMP_.

To run the tests, the following software is needed:

• Python 2.7;
• nose_.

To correctly convert some PDF files (mostly in Chinese, Japanese or Korean), the poppler-data_ package must be installed.
