Zathura with mupdf support?

I use mupdf as my default document viewer. It does the best rendering. But since it's intended as a library its built-in viewer is functional though kept pretty minimal and lacking features on purpose. Comparing a document side by side opened with mupdf and zathura (using the default poppler library) makes a noticeable difference. I've tried to add the zathura-pdf-mupdf plugin, but I failed to compile it. Is this posible in Debian?

Thanks.

Re: Zathura with mupdf support?

Thanks a lot for the insight, nobody. I don't know exactly how to compile in a subtree, well, I have no idea at all, but sounds like a nice research to be done. Thanks for pointing me into the right direction.

Not particularly useful for Debian users but...

@Snap: You mentioned that you were interested in OpenBSD in this thread and it just so happens that they have a port of zathura with mupdf as the backend.

Re: Zathura with mupdf support?

Yes, it's something I have to try soon.

The plugin is also available in Arch, Gentoo and Void AFAIK. Not specially interested in Arch (I always go back to Debian, don't ask me why), Gentoo is for enthusiasts wanting to spend a lifetime compiling everything, so... not for now. I'm currently trying Void and next will be OpenBSD.
