[SOLVED] Integrating Poppler in Qt5: weird problem with freetype and zlib (System: Windows 7, Qt5.3.1, MSVC compiler)
-
Hi guys,
I compiled poppler-qt5 (package poppler 0.26.4) libraries using cairo (dev, 1.10.2), freetype (dev, 2.4.2) and zlib (dev, 1.2.5) libraries.
Compilation of the poppler libraries obviously works.Anyway I can't execute the included demo application "poppler_qt5viewer.exe". (also compiled during poppler library compilation)
After adding all requested DLL files to the application directory an error shows up: FT_New_Memory_Face not found in zlib1.dll.
(original german message: "Der Prozedureinsprungpunkt "Ft_New_Memory_Face" wurde in der DLL "zlib1.dll" nicht gefunden.")
This is weird because this function is part of the freetype library, isn't it?!Did anybody have similar problems or may help?

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Maybe a silly question, but are you sure you are copying the right zlib dll ?

Hi,
Thanks for replying. Actually I am not sure .. I found no dll in the zlib package and the downloaded ones with file version equal to zlib package didn't work either. I thought about compiling the zlib package on my own but found no appropriate way.
I followed this guide to compile poppler:
http://laconsigna.wordpress.com/2011/07/14/compiling-poppler-on-windows/Anyway I left out the part about the zlib package and compiled the poppler library without zlib.
Now everything works and I can render pdfs..
Don't know why poppler actually needed zlib ?!greets

Good question, PDF compression ? :)
Anyway, glad you succeeded. Happy coding !
