I confirm djview3 and djview4 work fine on the xo (xo 1.5 with sugar 0.84.16) where I had previously installed djvulibre and djview3/djview4. The sugarise script did produce a working xo package and I was able to launch the activity + read a djvu document perfectly. However, after having copied the xo package on another xo (XO 1.5 running from a SD Card), without previous djvulibre/djview installation, I ran into unmet dependencies. I had an error while loading djview4 and libQtGui.so.4. Copying djview from the build system to the target system (e.g. in /usr/local/bin ) should solve the problem, however this is not a solution in order to create a portable activity. Sorry for the basic issues, I am not a developper.
