Issue installing dependencies on Big Sur with Homebrew #104

Closed DevArenaCN closed 3 years ago

DevArenaCN commented 3 years ago

Hi, I've followed the latest setup instruction, and I'm still getting the error:

> pdf-fill-form@4.1.0 install /Users/username/Folder/task-service/node_modules/pdf-fill-form
> node-gyp rebuild

Package poppler-qt5 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `poppler-qt5.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'poppler-qt5' found
gyp: Call to 'pkg-config --libs  cairo poppler-qt5' returned exit status 1 while in binding.gyp. while trying to load binding.gyp

What I've tried: All the options mentioned here https://github.com/tpisto/pdf-fill-form/issues/87, nothing seems to be working for me.

My Env: OS: Big Sur 11.5.1 NPM version: 6.14.12 Node version: 10.24.1 Package.json: "pdf-fill-form": "^4.1.0"

I also tried updating the package to latest (5.1.0) and it didn't help either.

Thanks in advance for the help!

So, further investigation: I have poppler version 21.08.0 installed via Homebrew, which seems to have qt6 installed instead of qt5. I don't know if this is something that would require some update through the buildscript, or I would need to install a version prior.

tiholic commented 3 years ago

I've tried installing brew install poppler-qt5 and pointed the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to that dependency. But this raises QT5 errors while running make

DevArenaCN commented 3 years ago

I've managed to install poppler 21.06.1 via Homebrew, but getting a ton of what seems to me to be compiler errors:

And this is just some of the errors I've seen installing, not sure how to address this yet but will update this thread once I found something

DevArenaCN commented 3 years ago

OK, so the issue I think is I have multiple qt installed via Homebrew, cleaned everything up (removed all versions of poppler, and all versions of qt), then reinstall poppler @ 21.06.1, exporting the correct path:

$ export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/qt5/lib $ export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/qt5/include $ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/qt5/lib/pkgconfig

Finally re-run npm install, that's how my issue was resolved.

Also for those who are interested in installing Poppler 21.06.1, here's what I did:

brew tap-new Homebrew/poppler-old
brew extract --version 21.06.1 poppler homebrew/poppler-old
brew install Homebrew/poppler-old/poppler@21.06.1
fabienblink commented 3 years ago

@DevArenaCN , thank you for the above, I am getting the same issue as you. Tried the below:

brew tap-new Homebrew/poppler-old
brew extract --version 21.06.1 poppler homebrew/poppler-old
brew install Homebrew/poppler-old/poppler@21.06.1

But still no luck. Can I just check which command makes sure all versions of poppler and qt are cleaned up?

Should mention here is my environment: My Env: OS: Big Sur 11.5.2 NPM version: 6.14.13 Node version: 14.17.0

The error:

So what I did is run brew list, and call brew uninstall on every item that’s related to poppler and qt. So in my list I have Poppler, Poppler@21.06.1, qt, qt@5 and qt@6. So removing all those, and re-install 21.06.1 solved it for me.

i.e., uninstalling all packages listed by brew list | grep -E 'poppler|qt' will do

I fixed my problem by upgrading node from 12 -> 14.17.x

saurabh2590 commented 3 years ago

@DevArenaCN I have exactly same environment as @fabienblink . I tried the same steps:

I also have node version 14.17.x.

However, I still have the same error

> node-gyp rebuild

Package poppler-qt5 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Can you please guide me what I am doing wrong?

tomat commented 2 years ago

Doing this on an M1 Mac for the first time, running macOS Monterey.

I had to manually add a couple more include dirs to make it build, not sure why but may help someone else stumbling on this thread, also all homebrew paths are now /opt/homebrew instead of /usr/local etc:

export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/qt5/include -I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/poppler@21.06.1/21.06.1/include -I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/cairo/1.16.0_5/include"

cymen commented 2 years ago

I fixed this by ensuring I only had these homebrew packages installed for qt and poppler:

% brew ls|egrep "qt|poppler"
poppler-qt5
qt@5

Then I needed to ensure my env flags were valid for both packages with:

export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L/usr/local/opt/poppler-qt5/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I/usr/local/opt/poppler-qt5/include"

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/opt/poppler-qt5/lib/pkgconfig"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/opt/poppler-qt5/share/pkgconfig"

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/qt@5/lib $LDFLAGS"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/qt@5/include $CPPFLAGS"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/qt@5/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"

Then I was able to compile without issue while using node@14.

tiholic commented 2 years ago

On Mac M1 processor (a.k.a Apple Silicon) (a.k.a Mac ARM processor) this worked perfectly for me

brew install poppler-qt5
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/qt@5/5.15.5_1/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/qt@5/5.15.5_1/include -I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/poppler-qt5/22.06.0/include -I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/cairo/1.16.0_5/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/qt@5/5.15.5_1/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/homebrew/Cellar/poppler-qt5/22.06.0/lib/pkgconfig"
npm i pdf-fill-form

I checked that LDFLAGS do not make any difference to installation, but leaving that instruction as-is.

Note: the version numbers are taken by checking the installed path ls /opt/homebrew/Cellar/qt@5 ls /opt/homebrew/Cellar/poppler-qt5/ ls /opt/homebrew/Cellar/cairo/

Also, this didn't work with Node.js 16.x.x, so I used node 14.20.0 to successfully install this package (based on this reference)
