[poppler] Documentation: Compiling Poppler

[Peter Bočan]

Hello guys, I’m back. First of all, I want to make things clear: project will be "platform-independent” in a Qt way. I am developing under OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks (and using Homebrew). Well, your solution to run ./configure does not work, it says: “configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, …”. Running cmake which seems to be more verbose, says that I am missing Freetype library. 

Error message:
CMake Error at /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/2.8.12.2/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:108 (message):
  Could NOT find Freetype (missing: FREETYPE_LIBRARY FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/2.8.12.2/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:315 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
  /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/2.8.12.2/share/cmake/Modules/FindFreetype.cmake:119 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS)
  CMakeLists.txt:94 (find_package)

Thanks folks. 
Peter Bočan.

> If you are trying to build poppler on Windows, it will take some work to set up a good build environment.  configure is a shell script, so you will need a package like cygwin that includes the bash shell.  You will also need the usual development packages like make, binutils (as and ld), and g++.
> 
> When you run ./configure, it will usually let you know if a third-part library is too old or is missing, and then you need to find a compiled version of that library or build it yourself from source.
> 
> If you have problems with dynamic linking using libtool, you can run configure with --enable-static --disable-shared to make static libraries and executables.
> 
> If you have errors from configure or from make that you can't understand, if you post the error to the list, someone might offer a suggestion.
