[new] djvulibre-3.5.14-1

DjVu ("deja vu") is an electronic document format roughly comparable to PDF. However, it achieves higher compression ratios than PDF--several times higher in many cases--and is especially useful for scanned documents. djvulibre is an open source toolkit, with viewer and browser plugin, for working with DjVu files. The viewer, by the way, is a refreshing change from the ugly, buggy, never-updated Acrobat Reader.
Smart people hope DjVu will someday replace PDF ;-)

See http://www.djvuzone.org/ for more info.

(BTW: I listed gcc as a dependency because the executables are linked with libgcc_s.so and libstdc++.so. Is that overkill?)

PKGBUILD:

pkgname=djvulibre
pkgver=3.5.14
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Djvulibre is a software suite for creating, manipulating, and viewing DjVu ('deja vu') documents."
url="http://djvulibre.djvuzone.org/index.html"
depends=('qt' 'libjpeg' 'libtiff' 'libpng' 'expat' 'fontconfig' 'freetype2' 'gcc')
source=(http://dl.sourceforge.net/djvu/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('a9b60d0c47d6b98e321100d329c7f3b3')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}
