Configuration and scripts for building a Debian package for PDFium

Config files and build script for building libpdfium debian package

To use, checkout the repo and edit the debian-config/changelog. The top line's date must match today's date.

Run the ./BUILD.sh script which will:

• Checkout the entire pdfium source code, including the icu and v8 dependencies
• Create an original tarball of the source tree which dpkg-buildpackage needs.
• Calls dh_make to debianize the source tree
• Copys the customized files from this repo's debian-config into place.
• Runs dpkg-buildpackage

Enjoy a freshly built libpdfium.

Notes.

The debian-config/libpdfium-dev.install file controls which files are copied and to where.

debian-config/control has the copyright, maintainer and other metadata about the deb.

To build the deb, you'll need to install the following packages:

• sudo apt-get install build-essential dpkg-dev dh-make dput gyp libfreetype6-dev
