This is a Debian-specific bug: its rules skip the configure step
(due to "override_dh_auto_configure:" in debian/rules).
The consequence is that the SYSTEM_XPDFRC C macro is not defined,
and one gets the MS-Windows behavior: from xpdf/config.h,
// system config file name (set via the configure script)
#ifdef SYSTEM_XPDFRC
#define xpdfSysConfigFile SYSTEM_XPDFRC
#else
// under Windows, we get the directory with the executable and then
// append this file name
#define xpdfSysConfigFile "xpdfrc"
#endif
In debian/rules, one has:
override_dh_auto_build: build/stamp $(objects)
SYSTEM_XPDFRC=/etc/xpdf/xpdfrc $(CXX) $(LDFLAGS) -o build/xpdf.real
build/*.o $(libraries)
but defining an environment variable there for linking has no effect.
One needs -DSYSTEM_XPDFRC=/etc/xpdf/xpdfrc at the right time: when
building the .o files (not at link time). Alternatively, I suppose
that a
#define SYSTEM_XPDFRC "/etc/xpdf/xpdfrc"
could be added to build/config.h before the "#ifdef SYSTEM_XPDFRC"
(I don't know how these things work under Debian).
