[arch-general] Anyone building pdftk for Archlinux?
Listmates, Looking for my favorite swiss army knife for pdf files (pdftk) I was unable to locate it with pacman -Ss pdftk and no luck. But whoop! I found keepassx and basket, that's half the battle. I know have my cheat-sheets and I can unlock the doors ;-) If you use KDE and haven't tried basket notepads, you are missing one killer app. Same goes for keepassx. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

pdftk is in AUR or alternatively the archlinuxfr repos [archlinuxfr] Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686 On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 1:22 AM, David C. Rankin < drankinatty@suddenlinkmail.com> wrote:

Great, that's what I needed to know. I'll go make friends with AUR... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. Rankin Law Firm, PLLC 510 Ochiltree Street Nacogdoches, Texas 75961 Telephone: (936) 715-9333 Facsimile: (936) 715-9339 www.rankinlawfirm.com

It's in the AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&L=0&C=0&K=pdftk&SeB=nd&PP=25 i.e., you have to build it yourself. DR

Great, I'm still reading through the AUR info to see if there are any tricks beyond the normal: if ! autoconf; then ./configure --help (read, make educated guesses) ./configure --your guesses make make install else go rtfm again to remember autoconf ./configure --help (read, make educated guesses) ./configure --your guesses make make install fi ;-) -- David C.

Basically, you click "download Tarball", unpack the tarball, cd into the directory and do "makepkg -s" This will download the sources, build the package as per PKGBUILD script, and gives you the resulting Arch package. pacman -U pkg_file will install it.

Or you install yaourt (via makepkg) which can transparently install from aur, too. On Mittwoch, 22. April 2009, 13:59:45 Andrei Thorp wrote:

I've personally found yaourt kind of sketchy, but perhaps others' milage varies. -AT On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 7:01 AM, Edgar Kalkowski <eMail@edgar-kalkowski.de> wrote:
