Hmm. I think it doesnt work that easily. Actually, I'm trying to build a
static pdf2svg which users poppler in turn. I tried to follow your
advice and installed libcairo-dev, libopenjp2-7-dev, libjpeg-dev, etc.
and then simply compiled poppler with -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF. When I
subsequently tried to compile pdf2svg as static with the static poppler
I get:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libpoppler-glib.a(CairoFontEngine.cc.o):
undefined reference to symbol 'FT_Library_Version'
/usr/bin/ld: //usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6: error adding
symbols: DSO missing from command line
I think the reason is that I actually must compile every single
contributing library that is used by poppler as fully static beforehand
instead of just installing them with apt, right?

Hi all,
I'm desperately trying to create a fully static build without any
dependencies. I already got pretty far (IMHO) and build lots and lots of
other dependent libaries statically (cairo, freetype etc.) without
encountering any major problems.
Have a look at the homebrew formulae, I use those to statically build
packages on MacOS. Afaik it works by default in the latest releases,
just use cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF like here:
