Version: 1.7.7+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Tags: ftbfs patch
Dear Maintainer,
openboard will FTBFS against poppler 26.07 (currently in experimental)
once it reaches unstable:
```
src/pdf/XPDFRenderer.cpp:182:49: error: base operand of '->' has
non-pointer type 'const std::string'
182 | return QString(title.getString()->c_str());
```
poppler 26.04 changed Object::getString() to return a const std::string&
instead of a GooString*, so title.getString()->c_str() no longer
compiles.
The attached patch adds a version-guarded branch that uses the value's
.c_str(), following the existing POPPLER_VERSION_MAJOR/MINOR convention,
so older poppler still builds. The change is fully guarded on
POPPLER_VERSION, so it is a no-op with the poppler currently in unstable
and can be applied now, ahead of the transition
Thanks
Nadzeya
