Right, I've also tried this in the mean time and got evince successfully to compile. I've checked the evince upstream git repository but didn't find a relevant log entry which explains why this include was added in the first place. Reading Karl's reply above that other header files were also dropped worries me a bit, though. Have the other reverse dependencies of libkpathsea been checked to still compile successfully? > I don't know, maybe including this header was wrong from the very > beginning ... if this is the case, please let me know. I don't mind > if the cnf.h disappears if it is on purpose. I checked the original header file and didn't find a notice that this header was deprecated or not supposed to be included. That said, if that header file is not coming back, I'd appreciate a short explanation why it was dropped and not supposed to be used, so I can communicate this to evince upstream.
