Error when installing on windows

[pofider]

I am missing installation instructions for windows. Will there be a support for windows? Now I get following error:

Hi!

Unfortunately, pdfutils uses poppler/glib/cairo to render PDFs. On MacOS, BSD and Linux it's easy to install those dependencies. But as I don't have any windows box here I never tried it on windows.

If s/o adds Windows support, I'll happily include those patches, but I can't put any effort in a windows port by myself.

Hi Enno,

Unfortunately, I have the same issue on ubuntu 14.04. Have you any idea of which kind of problem it could be?
