The newest version 42.2[1] of graphics/evince fails to open pdf files due to graphics/poppler[-glib] being too old. It turns out that poppler version >= 22.02.0 is needed: [1] https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=fe838ad373e26eb5880b1f3450af1350cf9b5904 ===> Configuring for evince-42.2 The Meson build system Version: 0.62.1 Source dir: /usr/ports/graphics/evince/work-full/evince-42.2 Build dir: /usr/ports/graphics/evince/work-full/evince-42.2/_build Build type: native build Project name: evince Project version: 42.2 [..snip..] Dependency poppler-glib found: NO found 22.01.0 but need: '>= 22.02.0' Run-time dependency poppler-glib found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake) Run-time dependency libxml-2.0 found: YES 2.9.13 meson.build:416: WARNING: PDF support is disabled since poppler-glib version >= 22.02.0 or libxml-2.0 version >= 2.5.0 not found [..snip..] Backends PDF........................: NO Poppler 22.04.0 is on the way (bug #263009). BTW: evince configure does not seem to be able to properly evaluate the version of textproc/libxml2. It asks for libxml-2.0 version >= 2.5.0, v2.9.13 is present and is not accepted?
Moin moin Thanks for the report -- I think I will push poppler-22.04 a bit quicker in that case. mfg Tobias
(In reply to Tobias C. Berner from comment #1) Hi Tobias, To be honest, I was hoping that this would give the update for Poppler a little more momentum :P Actually, it should have been noticeable when preparing the update for graphics/evince that the most important file format cannot be supported ... Thanks for taking care!
