[poppler] Poppler universal build

Hi there list,

I'm working on this Qt4 application where libpoppler-qt4 is used to
provide PDF rendering support. I have reached the point where I'm building
a DMG file in order to release the app.

However, the poppler version built by me on my dev environment, which is
bundled with the DMG, depends on a few libraries only available at
/opt/local/lib. Clearly the app won't run on anyother environment at least
not on those that don't resemble mine.

So my question is, what would be the proper way to build poppler so it
links to libraries available on a regular system install? I'm aware that
might not be possible as for instance, X11 it's no longer shipped with OSX
Mountain Lion. Perhaps I should go for an installer instead of a DMG file?

Regards,

Yoanis.
