poppler with mingw64 on windows?

Tomax63

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/

@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

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

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

D:\dl\Dateien\Entwicklung\CPP\PumPpro\src\build>mingw32-make .. -DCMAKE_CC_COMPILER=D:/Program Files/ingw-w64/x86_64-7.3.0-win32-seh-rt_v5-rev0/mingw64/bin/g++ -DCMAKE_CC_COMPILER=D:/Program Files/ingw-w64/x86_64-7.3.0-win32-seh-rt_v5-rev0/mingw64/bin/gcc
mingw32-make (pid = 38832)
mingw32-make is suspending for 30 seconds...done sleep(30). Continuing.
mingw32-make: *** MAKE_CC_COMPILER=D:/Program: Invalid argument.  Stop.

Now with this variation of CMakeLists.txt:

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

SGaist

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

Tomax63

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)
mingw32-make is suspending for 30 seconds...done sleep(30). Continuing.
mingw32-make: *** MAKE_CC_COMPILER=D:\\dl\\mingw\\mingw64\\bin\\g++: Invalid argument.  Stop.

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

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!
