Fails to build on debian

[AladW]

Hi,

When applying the patches to the debian package (poppler 0.24-5), the build fails with the following error:

../../poppler/CairoOutputDev.h:38:22: fatal error: cairo-ft.h: No such file or directory

include

                 ^

compilation terminated.

However, the necessary header is available libcairo2-dev: /usr/include/cairo/cairo-ft.h

I've found this:

http://www.seppemagiels.com/blog/building-poppler-windows-using-mingw

so the file is mislocated? Where could I change the reference?

Regards,

Alad

I'm not sure if the Debian package is doing something strange. Could you try compiling Poppler directly from source, with the patch applied?

Well the original source gave the same error message. So what I did was create symbolic links

/usr/include/cairo for a in * ; do ln -s /usr/include/cairo/$a /usr/include/$a ; done

/usr/include/freetype2 for a in * ; do ln -s /usr/include/freetype2/$a /usr/include/$a ; done

but hit another wall

When you say the "original source", do you mean unpatched Poppler? Or does this only happen with my patches applied?

[AladW]

With the patches applied (qt4-lcd branch)

Are you building with autotools? If you're are, I'm afraid I'm not maintaining that in the patchset, as autotools is a real pain. You'll have to build with cmake, as described in the patchset readme. (Patches are welcome to fix the autotools build!)
