zathura 0.3.9 is released

[phye]

Just tried myself, found out that zathura authors are switching from Makefile to meson, possibly for all other dependent components like girara .etc.

As 0.3.9 ships with HiDPI support, this is really a tremendous upgrade.

[zegervdv]

I managed to update girara and zathura to the latest versions (after some fooling around with the meson tool) but I can't get the plugins to work yet.

You may need to manually install meson from source because of mesonbuild/meson#3493:

brew install --HEAD meson

I need to figure out a way to cleanly install the plugins to the right directory without violating the sandboxing.

Found a workaround for the zathura-pdf-poppler plugin but it still needs some manual action afterwards. I will update the other plugins later this week.

Just FYI, I've managed to build 0.3.9 zathura (and girara, and zathura-pdf-poppler to their corresponding latest version) without homebrew, with several manual patch to the meson configuration file (mainly to remove libm dependency as it is already in glibc in macOS).

However, I would still be very anxious for your formulae for zathura as managing softwares by homebrew is far more clear than maintaining them by myself :)

Thanks for your effort!

I’ve updated them yesterday so you should be able to install them via homebrew now.

Just tried your formulae, however, brew install failed in Installing files.

Not sure if you're familiar with meson, but here's the logs if you happen to:

Sorry, I forgot to install the correct meson, the logs above were due to that I was using the meson installed via brew install meson manually back to weeks ago when I was building them from source.

After removing meson and install the correct one (brew install --HEAD meson), I can build zathura now.

Thanks.

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll close the issue but if something’s still not working feel free to reopen it.
