Description Helmut Jarausch 2017-12-29 10:55:54 UTC 
app-text/pdf2htmlEX suffers from an API-change with newer versions of poppler (>=0.59)

e.g.
/var/tmp/portage/app-text/pdf2htmlEX-0.14.6/work/pdf2htmlEX-0.14.6/3rdparty/poppler/git/CairoFontEngine.cc:662:50: error: no matching function for call to 'Dict::getVal(long unsigned int&, Object*)'
   gfx->display(charProcs->getVal(glyph, &charProc));

and many more problems.

Since this happens with the GIT version of pdf2html, as well,
is there an alternative to this package?

Thanks,
Helmut

It fails to build because it cannot download the files.
https://github.com/coolwanglu/archive/v0.14.6.1.tar.gz
doesn't exit (the repository hasn't changed for a year.

https://dev.gentoo.org/~dilfrigde/distfiles/pdf2htmlEX-0.14.6.1.tgz

doesn't exit either.

Closing, because it seems that it was reopened by accident.
