[poppler] Questions about building poppler-utils 0.50.0 rpm for CentOS 7

[Min Su]

Thanks William,

What I need is only pdftoppm.
I built poppler and get pdftoppm in /usr/local/bin, but it seems like this
binary expect poppler-data in /usr/local/share/poppler, but I installed
poppler-data from rpm and it is locate in /usr/share/poppler.
If I don't want to create symlink /usr/local/share/poppler ->
/usr/share/poppler, what should I do? Add prefix when config poppler?

Thanks,

Min
