The E-Sheet project needed to be able to create and view PDF's. After looking around, I noticed a lot of people proposed to use Poppler, but to use it I needed to build the libraries. Since there isn't much information out there, I could only base my tries on this tutorial.

Downloads

• Poppler (I used poppler-0.18.4)
• Qt4 or the sources if you want to compile Qt as well. I tried them both and both were successful, so it's up to you.
• MinGW download the installer (e.g. mingw-get-inst-20111118.exe)
• CMake
• Freetype
• Cairo
  While building I encountered the following error:
  C:/.../CairoOutputDev.h:38:22: fatal error: cairo-ft.h: No such file or directory
  To solve this I moved the files located in the /include/cairo folder to the /include folder.
  Then another error occurred:
  C:/.../include/cairo-ft.h:50:35: fatal error: fontconfig/fontconfig.h: No such file or directory
  To solve this you will need to download Fontconfig. Once the download is complete copy the /include/fontconfig folder from the fontconfig archive into the cairo /include folder. The other parts of the fontconfig archive are not needed.
