How are you building? The default makefile on linux disables text input on X11 with -DDISABLE_TEXT_INPUT. I used the PKGBUILD from archlinux and changed it to work with version 1.10 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/51793?getfile=14723 Original https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/mupdf As far as I can see it simply runs "make build=release prefix="$pkgdir"/usr install" https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/mupdf#n68 This should include all the flags in the Makefile or does it not? I don't speak PKGBUILD, so bear with me here... That looks to me like it sets CFLAGS in the environment. That's bad as it will stop the Makefile logic from setting CFLAGS. It should set XCFLAGS and leave CFLAGS unset. Try changing all CFLAGS references to XCFLAGS references. I don't think that adding to the CFLAGS variable will overwrite things in the Makefile. Anyway I just compiled mupdf without the PKGBUILD (should have done that earlier) and the problem still exists. After downloading mupdf 1.10-rc1, unpacking it and running make, the resulting application mupdf-X11 still allows form filling and will crash as a result. Note: The issue is not with the mupdf-gl version, just the X11 stuff which is used in must cases on linux distros. So I suspect the flag does not work. Applying the debian patch and thereby simply disableing the few lines resposible for the prompt should do the trick as well I guess. This issue is solved in mupdf-1.10-rc2 Thnaks |
Created attachment 13129 [details] tty-fix.patch Mupdf 1.10-rc1 will crash when filling pdf forms. This issue already existed in 1.9 and Debian has put a patch in their package, disableing form filling. The form filling function on Linux does not work anyway, as filling form fields will start a broken promt on the command line when started from such. When started without it sometimes just crashes when entering forms. Please consider using this patch (which will disable form input on X11 plattforms) to disable form filling on X11 until it is actually useful.
