If you want to -incorporate poppler into your own program, you can use msvc makefile as an -example of how to compile poppler code on Windows with msvc. - -Poppler depends on 3 libraries that are not easily available on Windows: -* freetype -* libjpeg -* zlib - -To make it easy, I've made those dependencies available as pre-compiled -files. You need to download http://windevlibs.googlecode.com/files/ext.zip -and unzip under 'ext' directory. Those are header files and static libraries -for freetype, libjpeg and zlib. - -You can use your own static or dll versions of those dependencies (most likely -that will require tweaking a makefile). - -Compilation. ------------- - -The msvc makefile is called 'makefile.vc' and you can compile poppler on command -line with: 'nmake -f makefile.vc TARGET=rel' (or TARGET=dbg). - -You need to have nmake in your path. If you have Visual Studio 2005, you can -setup the environment by executing -"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat" batch -file (assuming standard installation). -Other versions of Visual Studio have an equivalent of this file - it's just -named differently. - -The build works for me with Visual Studio 2005 SP1 but Visual Studio 2005 and -(free) Visual Studio 2005 Express should work as well. - -Other versions of Visual Studio should work as well (makefile might need to -be tweaked since some of the linker/compiler flags might have changed). - -The result of compilation is a 'perftest.exe' in either 'rel' or 'dbg' directory. - -It's a command line application that shows the basics of using poppler API and -is meant for regression and performance testing. You can use it like this: -perftest -slowpreview file.pdf -For more advanced usage, use --help option or consult the sources. - -When you have problems. ------------------------ - -I would like to be able to say "post to a mailing list and you'll get help" -but realistically, you're on your own. - -If there are problems, they're most likely due to different/incorrect setup -on your machine and not in poppler code. This is a slightly advanced setup -and you're expected to be able to understand errors from your compiler or -linker and correct them. |
