Well, guys, I have moved towards the goal with a little step. I was missing fontconfig library, now I am getting the error message:
checking for POPPLER_QT4... no
checking for POPPLER_QT5... no
./configure: line 23550: syntax error near unexpected token `iconv'
./configure: line 23550: ` AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS_BODY(iconv)’
Am I missing something? Does it require an “iconv" library? Thanks, Peter Bocan.

> I usually build poppler on Linux with ./configure. If you run "./configure --help | less", you can see the options and environment variables that you can set. The variables FREETYPE_CFLAGS and FREETYPE_LIBS tell configure where to find the headers and libraries for freetype.

> If you build poppler with ./configure, it is easier to start with an official release (usually posted as a compressed tar) than cloning poppler from git. If you start with a clone, you have to run ./autogen.sh to build the build files, which gives more chances for something to go wrong.

> configure and possibly cmake find files using pkg-config which looks for *.pc files. You can run "pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config" to see the default search path for *.pc files. If it does not list the directory with the pc files from the homebrew packages, can add them with a command like "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/lib64/qt5/lib/pkgconfig" (which I used on Fedora Linux once to build Scribus).

> Hello and thanks for your response, I am using OS X (so I am using standard bash shell interpreter shipped with OS X). I have "install" program already and all other packages from Linux are already installed (using Homebrew). I have downloaded probably all requirements that are mentioned in those links that I have put into the original message. So what shall I do?

> 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.

> 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.
