      sir,
      the result for the command file /usr/local/lib//libpoppler-qt5.so.1 is
      /usr/local/lib//libpoppler-qt5.so.1: symbolic link to libpoppler-qt5.so.1.27.0

        Hi,

        I would avoid putting a library like that built for a different architecture/OS in such a generic path. You should store in an explicit dedicated folder.

          Check that file then.

          Did you ensure that cmake is finding your cross-compiled version and not the one from your system ?

            sir,
            yes i ensured that the cmake is finding cross-compiled version and not the one from the system .
            i stored the cross-compiled version in an explicit dedicated folder and the same message appears.

                      Your desktop machine is.

                      I meant the target that runs Android. In any case, if it's ARM, libpoppler was not cross-compiled.

                        sir,
                        the target device is ARM.could you give me instructions to cross compile libpoppler for ARM.

                            i used the settings given below to cross compile poppler library

                            set(CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING "TRUE")

                            set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Android)
                            set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION 21) # API level
                            set(CMAKE_ANDROID_ARCH_ABI arm64-v8a)
                            set(CMAKE_ANDROID_NDK /home/nivilwilsonp/Android/Sdk/ndk/21.3.6528147)

                              You might want to check here for how they build it for Androïd.

                                    sir, i tried it many times .i changed the architecture and tried many times but it only compile to x86_64 architecture only.I think this is related to configuration mistake that i made cmake compilation process. sorry for my bad english .google translate help me very much these days.
