I don't understand why converting pdf to html requires gs to rasterize to png, especially when pdftoppm can generate png.<br>In any case, instead of running gs, how about linking to libspectre or libgs?<br>configure could check for the libraries, and pdftohtml could enable whatever functionality that requires gs only when the libraries are present so that the libraries would not become a prerequisite for building poppler. pdftops already has a conditional build enabled by -DSPLASH_CMYK=1, so there is a precedent.<br>William<br><br>                                            </div></body>
