You're starting to be a bit annoying, this is not your personal support 
helpdesk, if you want help you have to be:
 a) Consistent, why are you asking about qt5 wrapper when you were asking 
about iconv and gettext before in the previous email
 b) Give ALL THE INFORMATION we need, the error you're getting, the OS you're 
using, etc

Because the answer to "how to compile poppler with Qt5 wrapper" i already told 
you, and it's easy
./configure
make

This is most probably my last email in this thread.

Cheers,
  Albert

P.S: I'm sure there's a few consultancy people listening, i myself run one, if 
you want you can always here a consultancy and they will be your personal 
helpdesk.
