Hi all
I tried to build evince-3.34.1 by the book and get the following error:
GEN evince-pdfdocument.metainfo.xml
/usr/bin/msgfmt: cannot locate ITS rules for
evince-pdfdocument.metainfo.xml.in
make[3]: *** [Makefile:922: evince-pdfdocument.metainfo.xml] Error 1
After digging around, I found
https://bugs.gentoo.org/683756
which describes the error, and the solution seems to be to install
appstream-glib.
However, the book makes no mention of that. Has anybody successfully
compiled evince-3.34.1 without appstream-glib? And if yes: what optional
dependencies were installed before?
Are you sure you have all the required and recommended packages
installed? Looking at my log for evince-3.34.1 (Oct 28), there is no
mention of appstream.
GEN evince-pdfdocument.metainfo.xml
completes for me without complaint.
