Requirements

1. Ninja Build
2. Python 3

Obs: Generally Python 3 already come with PIP installed. Check it with command python3 -m pip --version.

How to compile

These are the general steps that need be executed before all others platforms steps.

1. Get the source:

git clone https://github.com/paulocoutinhox/pdfium-lib.git
cd pdfium-lib

2. Install PIP requirements:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Get Google Depot Tools:

python3 make.py build-depot-tools
export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/build/depot-tools

Obs:

• The file make.py need be executed with Python version 3.
• These steps you only need make one time.
