Compilation Error.

I ran as stated in the README and in the video, stuck at the following error...

$ cargo build --release

....

Need to change dir here.

To what exactly?

I am unable to figure out!!

if you check the code, it looks for a dir inside release, just change it. this error is coming because that directory is not present on your system.

Hi,

I've been through the code it looks for a binary in the (./target/release/) which is already present.

Talking about the directory which it looks for is "xpdf_dir" which is nothing but the current working directory which is valid.

I think the issue is something else.

Can you point out the line in the code whose location is causing probelms? as all the locations I see pointing to in build.rs seem valid.

I just tried it on couple of vms at my sytem in hope to reproduce, but I am not able to replicate this issue.
