zathura - a document viewer
===========================

zathura is a highly customizable and functional document viewer based on the
girara user interface library and several document libraries.

Requirements
------------

The following dependencies are required:

* `gtk3` (>= 3.24)
* `glib` (>= 2.72)
* `girara` (>= 0.4.3)
* `libmagic` from file(1): for mime-type detection
* `json-glib`
* `sqlite3` (>= 3.6.23): sqlite3 database backend

The following dependencies are optional:
* `libsynctex` from TeXLive (>= 1.19): SyncTeX support
* `libseccomp`: sandbox support

For building zathura, the following dependencies are also required:

* `meson` (>= 0.61)
* `gettext`
* `pkgconf`

The following dependencies are optional build-time only dependencies:

* `check` (>= 0.11): for tests
* `librvsg-bin`: PNG icons
* `Sphinx`: manpages and HTML documentation
* `doxygen`: HTML documentation
* `breathe`: for HTML documentation
* `sphinx_rtd_theme`: for HTML documentation

Note that `Sphinx` is needed to build the manpages. If it is not installed, the
man pages won't be built. For building the HTML documentation, `doxygen`,
`breathe` and `sphinx_rtd_theme` are needed in addition to `Sphinx`.

The use of `libseccomp` to create a sandboxed environment is optional and can be
disabled by configure the build system with `-Dseccomp=disabled`. The sandbox
will by default be disabled if even support during build was enabled. For strict
sandbox mode set `sandbox strict` in zathurarc. Strict sandbox mode will reduce
the available functionality of zathura and provide a read only document viewer.

Installation
------------

To build and install zathura using meson's ninja backend:

meson build
cd build
ninja
ninja install

Note that the default backend for meson might vary based on the platform. Please
refer to the meson documentation for platform specific dependencies.
