view PDF file using Poppler

[Massi]

Dear Qt forum,

I m trying to use poppler lib to view or display PDF file within my GUI. I used CMake.exe and tried to build it under vs2013 win64 + Qt5. I built the following dependencies without any errors

• Cairo
• Freetype
• Jpeg
• OpenJpeg
• zlib
• PNG

I linked the Release/Debug & lib directories in CMake, but when it comes to build poppler in vs2013, I got the many errors, here's one of them:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\include\xtr1common(15): error C2894: templates cannot be declared to have 'C' linkage

Is there any other way to view PDF file in your GUI?
I would appreciate any help or guidance from you!

Hi,

Might be a silly question but did you saw the README.windows ?

@SGaist
Hi! yes I have checked this before but I dropped it, I got many errors because I don't know how to link the libraries in the command prompt

• 'nmake -f makefile.vc TARGET=rel'

And the link does not contain Qt5 . When I downloaded the latest release of poppler, it didn't come with makefile.vc file. So I decided to go with CMake GUI.

I'm not comfortable with makefiles, I prefer to use CMake GUI (easy to include lib & dir) since I already built zlib, freetype and libjpeg libraries in vs2013 win64
