Bug 102077 – emerging app-text/xpdf does not install pdftoppm when not using X

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christoph Schulz 2005-08-10 23:24:26 UTC]

If not using X, emerging app-text/xpdf does not install the pdftoppm utility.
However, there is no dependency on X to build and use this tool.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge app-text/xpdf
Actual Results:  
/usr/bin/pdftoppm is missing

Expected Results:  
pdftoppm should be built and installed in /usr/bin

patches xpdf's Makefile to build pdftoppm even when not using X

The patch corrects the Makefile by removing the (unneeded) dependency on the X
window system when building the pdftoppm utility included in the xpdf package.
