Re: [blfs-support] Poppler-0.67.0 gtk-test.dir/all Error 2 - BLFS 8.3

The attached patch reverts what I think is your trouble maker. Apply it to 0.63.0 and later (it should work with 0.69.0 as well) using: patch -p1 -i ../poppler_revert_gtk3_include_dirs.patch And let us know if you can build 0.63.0 and later after applying the patch. Cheers, Mike
