[zathura] building zathura-pdf-mupdf

[Pablo Rodríguez]

Hi there,

congratulations for your excellent piece of software and many thanks
fore releasing it under a free license.

I?m interested in having the zathura-pdf-mupdf plugin in Fedora.

I have two questions:

Does the latest version 0.2.6 work with mupdf-1.5?

Is it really required that mupdf is compiled with -fPIC option?

The last question was asked to me when I opened an issue requesting this
flag in compilation
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1109589#c1). I must confess
that this is all Greek to me.

Many thanks for your excellent work,


Pablo

Yes, compiling mupdf with -fPIC is necesary. Otherwise building
zathura-pdf-mupdf will fail while linking with something like "symbol
xyz can not be rellocated, recompile with -fPIC."

Cheers
