or is it still some way to have working xpdf without dependency on Qt5?



It was removed upstream. Xpdf3 still has the no X11 option. Ideally people 
should use poppler. Poppler was designed for headless use and it is also a 
prerequisite for many other ports which require some of the headless utilities. 
Poppler contains some command line utilities not found in other pdf ports such 
as the xpdf's.


I was curious what changed between 4.00 and 4.01, because 4.00 was able 
to build without X11


xpdf4-4.00_1,1
Depends on :
gsfonts-8.11_8
freetype2-2.9.1
png-1.6.35

Anyway, thank you for the hint to poppler. We'll test it and if it'll 
work, we replace xpdf with it!


Kind regards

Xpdf3 is still an option. It still has a print widget that was removed in xpdf4.

As stated before, poppler was designed for command line use. It includes 
utilities not found in either of the xpdf ports.

Please see


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xpdf

*Xpdf* is a free and open-source PDF viewer for operating systems supported
by the Qt toolkit. Versions prior to 4.00 were written for the X Window
System and ...


https://www.xpdfreader.com/



If you can compile xpdf sources suitable for you ( prior versions ) which
you can find prior versions port parameter files in SVN
you can use an older version  not depending on QT .
