Funds

There is this app that has been outdated for quite some time and unsupporeted: https://github.com/pdf2htmlEX/pdf2htmlEX

The last release was in July 2020.

But since then there has been a poppler and fontforge update, which some people in the repo have updated (just no new release...)

So I thought I would make a custom image for my own project with a Dockerfile.

I read about the problems with building and went through the fixed steppes one by one.

Dockerfile

FROM ubuntu:latestRUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install \bash \git-allWORKDIR /tmpRUN git clone https://github.com/pdf2htmlEX/pdf2htmlEXWORKDIR /tmp/pdf2htmlEXENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive# These 9 steps equal with the ./buildScripts/buildInstallLocallyApt (I tried that one too)RUN ./buildScripts/versionEnvsRUN ./buildScripts/reportEnvsRUN ./buildScripts/getBuildToolsAptRUN ./buildScripts/getDevLibrariesAptRUN ./buildScripts/getPopplerRUN ./buildScripts/buildPopplerRUN ./buildScripts/getFontforgeRUN ./buildScripts/buildFontforgeRUN ./buildScripts/buildPdf2htmlEX

Problem

All steps run well, except the buildPdf2htmlEx.

What should be the problem?

If I try to install the pdf2htmlEX application in a Linux (Ubuntu and Alpine too) VM, it works fine.

I want to replace these few lines in my Dockerfile with the steps mentioned above.

RUN wget https://github.com/pdf2htmlEX/pdf2htmlEX/releases/download/v0.18.8.rc1/pdf2htmlEX-0.18.8.rc1-master-20200630-Ubuntu-bionic-x86_64.debRUN mv pdf2htmlEX-0.18.8.rc1-master-20200630-Ubuntu-bionic-x86_64.deb pdf2htmlEX.debRUN apt-get install -y ./pdf2htmlEX.deb
