Unsolved poppler with mingw64 on windows?
-
Does anyone use poppler in qt5.11 with mingw64?
I would need some help on how to include and use it.
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Hi,
It should be the same as any other library. What is exactly your problem ?
-
It keeps telling me that two files are missing:
Object.h and another one.
They are not inside the poppler directory
-
@Tomax63 to help you, we need the exact steps you did and the exact error messages.
Thanks

I copied the "src" directory from the poppler archive "poppler-master.zip" to my development directory and included the complete directory into Qt Creator
When I want to compile, it has these error messages:
D:\dl\Dateien\Entwicklung\CPP\PumPpro\src\ArthurOutputDev.cc:36: Fehler: config.h: No such file or directory #include <config.h> ^~~~~~~~~~ D:\dl\Dateien\Entwicklung\CPP\PumPpro\src\poppler-annotation-helper.h:30: Fehler: Object.h: No such file or directory #include <Object.h> ^~~~~~~~~~

Well, then, have you followed the build instructions in https://github.com/freedesktop/poppler/blob/master/INSTALL ?
-
No, I haven´t.
I tried, but get the following error:
Der Befehl "cmake" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden.
Command "cmake" is either typed wrong or can not be found.
-
@Tomax63 then install cmake, please.
-
Ok. I installed it.

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?
-
Yes, I do. I have no idea why it uses MSVC compile. I dont use it.
-
Does poppler work with MinGW?
And how can I configure cmake to use MinGW?
Or can I use gcc for poppler too?
-
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
-
@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 )
-
This is in my file:
install(TARGETS poppler-qt5 RUNTIME DESTINATION bin LIBRARY DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR} ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR})
