Hi,

     Maybe you could try this (I built the poppler-qt4 binding successfullly in Win7+msys+minGW):

POPPLER_QT4_LIBS=-L/c/Qt/4.6.2/lib -lQtCore4 -lQtGui4 -lQtXml4 -lQtTest4
POPPLER_QT4_CFLAGS=-I/c/Qt/4.6.2/include

For some reason the e-mail got mangled, the command above is all in one line, so 
the env vars get passed to config:

./configure --enable-poppler-qt4 POPPLER_QT4_CXXFLAGS=-I/c/Qt/4.6.2/include 
POPPLER_QT4_CXXFLAGS=-L/c/Qt/4.6.2/lib 

(BTW I first tried setting them in bash with export before calling configure, 
but that didn't work either, it gives the same error)

From config.log this is what configure sees:

$ ./configure --enable-poppler-qt4 POPPLER_QT4_CXXFLAGS=-I/c/Qt/4.6.2/include 
POPPLER_QT4_LIBS=-L/c/Qt/4.6.2/lib

and further from config.log:

<config.log extract>
ac_cv_env_POPPLER_QT4_LIBS_set=set
ac_cv_env_POPPLER_QT4_LIBS_value=-L/c/Qt/4.6.2/lib
</config.log extract>

<config.log extract>
POPPLER_QT4_CXXFLAGS='-I/c/Qt/4.6.2/include'
POPPLER_QT4_LIBS='-L/c/Qt/4.6.2/lib'
</config.log extract>

so it would appear that configure has seen the variables. config.log is rather 
large, but I can post it if that will be any help.

It seems to be (I understand very little of autoconf/automake et all) that there 
is something else needed, another variable that needs setting, so that
configure can find Qt4, but I can't figure out what is missing from the 
information I have found.

I am not able to switch that off, our notes server attaches it. I have changed 
to using my yahoo e-mail to stop that from happening.
