Acrobat Reader 8.1.5

[Jason W]

This will fetch and install Acrobat Reader.  It creates the browser plugin for Firefox and Shiretoko.

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
# To fetch and build an Acrobat Reader extension.  It is far
# preferable to change the "$SRCDIR" variable to a mounted storage
# device as this will take gobs of RAM.

# Taken from the Arch Linux pkgbuild.

Is it cups you need to install or just libcups?

[Jason W]

Libcups is needed to run.

[Jason W]

Duh, silly me, I overlooked the libcups extension.  Thanks for pointing it out.  I will change the dependencies.

[Jason W]

Fixed tce dir path to install to optional.

VERSION=8.1.6
DOWNLOAD=ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/8.x/"$VERSION"/enu/
SOURCE=AdobeReader_enu-"$VERSION"-1.i486.tar.bz2

If I change just the version, download, and md5sum variables, will it still work? (no extra dependencies or directory modifications?)

[dentonlt]

Just tested with 9.4.0. It will work with many changes:

• module names (tczl -> tcz; squashfs -> 4.x)
• VERSION
• DOWNLOAD
• SOURCE
• MD5SUM
• icon name change to AdobeReader9.png, not 8.png
• When installing icon resource, the Reader 9.4 desktop file no longer has an X-FullPathIcon statement, so echo one into the file.
  

It all works. Down side is that 9.4.0 is a 140mb extension. Pretty quick for the size, to be honest.

I'm using Evince (in repository) unless it chokes on something special.

[Jason W]

dentonlt-

Great.  Could you post your updated script?

I will fix the old one when I get a chance, but am tight on time to be able to work on an updated one.

[TheNewbie]

acroread-8.1.6 isn't compatible with TC 3.3, I think. When I try to use tce-load, it gives me "mount: mounting /dev/loop56 on /tmp/tcloop/acroread-8.1.6 failed: Invalid argument"

[Jason W]

That sounds like an error not related to the package, but I will check it out tonight.

[Jason W]

The current script installs and runs fine here.  Try again, I have seen that error appear randomly on rare occasion.
