  • Sphinx:manpages and HTML documentation
  • doxygen:HTML documentation
  • breathe:for HTML documentation
  • sphinx_rtd_theme:for HTML documentation

Note thatSphinxis needed to build the manpages. If it is not installed, the man pages won't be built. For building the HTML documentation,doxygen, breatheandsphinx_rtd_themeare needed in addition toSphinx.

The use oflibseccompand/orlandlockto create a sandboxed environment is optional and can be disabled by configure the build system with -Dseccomp=disabledand-Dlandlock=disabled.The sandboxed version of zathura will be built into a separate binary namedzathura-sandbox.Strict sandbox mode will reduce the available functionality of zathura and provide a read only document viewer.
