Subject: Possible xpdf packaging error?
Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2022 10:28:16 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7189c830-c11f-7320-ffcc-4a45db11fd54@cs.umass.edu> (raw)
Dear Cygwin-ers --
Today I had use for pdftotext. It man page is installed, but the program
itself is missing. On Ubuntu (etc.) it is part of the xpdf package, the
Cygwin version of which I have installed. pdftotext.cc is in the source
package, but its executable is not present in the binary package.
So I am wondering if this is intentional (is pdftotext somewhere else?) or an
oversight. The situation seems the same from at least the 4.01.01 release
onward to 4.03 (current) release.
I suppose I can try getting all the necessary dependencies and building from
source, if need be, but though this worth asking about.
Regards - Eliot Moss
