Hello Florian,

thank you for taking the time to report this! While version 0.5.0 was just released, I will update the bundled sources for 0.5.1. Just two questions so that I do the right thing:

* I usually import those sources from the TeXLive Subversion repository. Is the linked commit specific to the GitHub fork or can I just import the latest code from TeXLive as usual?

* Since this is referencing the Fedora change: If present at build time, qpdfview should prefer to link against the system-provided SyncTeX and the vendored sources are considered a fallback for more exotic platforms which do not ship that library. Does using pkg-config not work for the Fedora package or does the package need an additional build-time dependency on the SyncTeX library? Ideally, the vendored should not be built on a modern Linux distribution like Fedora.

Regards,
Adam
