Install breaks if cask not installed
Describe the bug The readme install instructions fail if cask is not already installed
Steps to Reproduce the behaviour Running the commands suggested in the install instructions
git clone https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools
cd pdf-tools
make -s
gives the following error
Using Emacs 29.4
make: cask: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:49: .cask/29.4] Error 127
What is the expected behaviour? pdf-tools should install
Desktop
- OS: Manjaro
- Emacs Version: 29.4
Additional context
I think the solution is to install cask
git clone https://github.com/cask/cask
make -C cask install
before installing pdf-tools.
I'd suggest adding a check to the makefile to see if cask is installed, if it isn't then run the lines above which will install it. Or if that isn't trivial then update the readme to say cask needs to be installed.
(I'm still having issues with the wrong poppler version, so I can't confirm installing cask fixed things, but with cask installed make gets further than it would without)
