poppler with mingw64 on windows?

Ok. I installed it.
An error occurred:

When I added "cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13)" to the top of the file, and started cmake again, the following appeared:

In cmake GUI, it looks like this:

@Tomax63 I'm out here, never really used cmake.

Just as note: it detected your MSVC compiler, you seemed to use MinGW for your project?

Tomax63 · wrote on 21 Dec 2018, 18:40

Yes, I do. I have no idea why it uses MSVC compile. I dont use it.

Tomax63 · wrote on 21 Dec 2018, 18:44

Does poppler work with MinGW?

And how can I configure cmake to use MinGW?

Or can I use gcc for poppler too?

Tomax63 · wrote on 21 Dec 2018, 20:51

Is it possible that someone who knows how to do it compiles the package for me and gives me the library (is it a dll?)

Just like

https://sourceforge.net/projects/poppler-qt5-mingw32/

Tomax63 · 22 Dec 2018, 08:53

@SGaist Could you help me by any chance?

@Tomax63 Please give us some time to help you!

People here help for free in their sparetime, and live in totally different time zones. Not everyone is using Windows, not everyone uses MinGW and not everyone CMake.

Does this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4101456/running-cmake-on-windows bring you a step forward?

No problem, take your time all. I would just like to make it between christmas and new year

Hi,

Take a look at this stack overflow answer, the same applies to your case.

Short version:
You likely have something similar in the concerned CMakeLists.txt file:

INSTALL(
  TARGETS poppler-qt5
  ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib # <-- A line like this is likely missing
  LIBRARY DESTINATION lib  
  COMPONENT library
)

Tomax63 · wrote on 22 Dec 2018, 19:08

This is in my file:

install(TARGETS poppler-qt5 
		RUNTIME DESTINATION bin 
		LIBRARY DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR} 
		ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR})

I think i really should stop trying - maybe one day I will find a compiled version.

SGaist · wrote on 22 Dec 2018, 19:34

If it's the only thing that is giving trouble, just remove the ARCHIVE line and see if it behaves better.

Now with this variation of CMakeLists.txt:

install(TARGETS poppler-qt5 
		RUNTIME DESTINATION bin 
		LIBRARY DESTINATION lib)

Is D:/Program Files/ingw-w64/ a valid path on your machine ?

Tomax63 · wrote on 22 Dec 2018, 20:15

Sorry, fault while inserting here.

But I installed mingw anew in a shorter direcdtory tree and tried this:

D:\dl\Dateien\Entwicklung\CPP\PumPpro\src\build>mingw32-make .. -DCMAKE_CC_COMPILER=D:/dl/mingw/mingw64/bin/g++.exe -DCMAKE_CC_COMPILER=D:/dl/mingw/mingw64/bin/gcc.exe
mingw32-make (pid = 34784)
mingw32-make is suspending for 30 seconds...done sleep(30). Continuing.
mingw32-make: *** MAKE_CC_COMPILER=D:/dl/mingw/mingw64/bin/g++.exe: Invalid argument.  Stop.

another try:

D:\dl\Dateien\Entwicklung\CPP\PumPpro\src\build>mingw32-make .. -DCMAKE_CC_COMPILER=D:\\dl\\mingw\\mingw64\\bin\\g++ -DCMAKE_CC_COMPILER=D:\\dl\\mingw\\mingw64\\bin\\gcc
mingw32-make (pid = 38848)

Why aren't you using the MinGW version provided with Qt ?
Also, but only curiosity, why did you switch from Visua Studio to MinGW compiler ?

Tomax63 · wrote on 22 Dec 2018, 20:25

I used the mingw from my first steps with Qt.

I dont know how to use the mingw within qt. I cant find the mingw32-make.

It only has a qmake.exe

Sorry - too many options, files and ways of doing it. I give up.

Thanks for your help anyway!
