Ok, I see a bit there. Unfortunately my knowledge on compiling is very limited so I don't
know how to deal with the errors I get. I install cmake and make on my Debian
installation but get the error "No CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER could be found." Even if
I knew how to fix that
For that you just need to install the g++ package.
Great, that got me further. Now I got this though:
No test data found in $testdatadir.
You will not be able to run 'make test' successfully.
The test data is not included in the source packages
and is also not part of the main git repository. Instead,
you can checkout the test data from its own git
repository with:
git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/poppler/test
You should checkout the test data as a sibling of your
poppler source folder or specify the location of your
checkout with -DTESTDATADIR=/path/to/checkoutdir/test.
I tried to checkout into a "test" folder within my poppler-0.80.0 that contains all the source code
- but there is already a "test" folder there so it didn't want to do that! So where should I then
put it? Or how do I specify the DTESTDATADIR option? Tried "cmake -DTESTDATADIR=/home/allan/test .."
but that was obviously not correct...
I wouldn't be surprised there will be other errors with dependency issues and
what not..
There will be more, but at least on a Debian system all you need is easily
available.
Try
sudo apt-get build-dep libpoppler-dev
that should go a long way.
On Debian that resulted in this error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
builddeps:poppler : Depends: debhelper (>= 11) but it is not going to be
installed
Then tried "apt install debhelper" and ran "apt-get build-dep libpoppler-dev"
again but got this:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
builddeps:poppler : Depends: debhelper (>= 11) but 10.2.5 is to be installed
