This is just because the current libpoppler-glib-dev depends on libgtk2.0-dev instead of libgtk3.0-dev. It uses GDK in its API, for instance. This would happen to people using GTK+ 3, not just gtkmm 3.
However, GDK is only used by include files when POPPLER_WITH_GDK is defined. POPPLER_WITH_GDK is apparently defined during the poppler build, and I don't think Ubuntu's libpoppler-glib was really built with that defined. So maybe the dependency is unnecessary. Reassigning to libpoppler-glib-dev for investigation there. If GTK+ (or GDK) really is needed, it would be great if libpoppler was ported to GTK+ 3, but that doesn't seem to have even happened upstream yet. ** Package changed: gtkmm3.0 (Ubuntu) => poppler (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - Compile error if linking against gtkmm-3.0 and poppler-glib + Compile error if linking against GTK+ 3 and poppler-glib via pkg-config -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/870662 Title: Compile error if linking against GTK+ 3 and poppler-glib via pkg- config Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The following test program (test.cpp): #include <gtkmm.h> #include <poppler.h> int main() { return 0; } compiled with: g++ -o test test.cpp `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkmm-3.0 poppler- glib` gives the error: In file included from /usr/include/gdkmm-3.0/gdkmm/window.h:37:0, from /usr/include/gdkmm-3.0/gdkmm.h:28, from /usr/include/gtkmm-3.0/gtkmm.h:92, from test.cpp:1: /usr/include/gdkmm-3.0/gdkmm/rgba.h: In static member function ‘static Gdk::RGBATraits::CType Gdk::RGBATraits::to_c_type(const CppType&)’: /usr/include/gdkmm-3.0/gdkmm/rgba.h:251:54: error: return type ‘Gdk::RGBATraits::CType {aka struct _GdkRGBA}’ is incomplete /usr/include/gdkmm-3.0/gdkmm/rgba.h: In static member function ‘static Gdk::RGBATraits::CType Gdk::RGBATraits::to_c_type(const CType&)’: /usr/include/gdkmm-3.0/gdkmm/rgba.h:252:54: error: return type ‘Gdk::RGBATraits::CType {aka struct _GdkRGBA}’ is incomplete Using: Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10 libgtkmm-3.0-1, libgtkmm-3.0-dev version 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 The same test program compiles just fine with gtkmm-2.4.
