Re: [poppler] Static build
Wow. What a wild ride. Once you type "ldd pdf2svg" and you really see "Not a dynamic executable" after literally days of work you almost cannot believe it's true. Thank you so much, Jeroen! It took me a while to finally figure it all out, but I eventually managed to build a static pdf2svg binary. The single sentence below from you was very short and (for me) initially *extremely* cryptic (I'm no expert on all this stuff, mind you) but turned out to be one of the wisest tips I ever got in IT. So much cleverness crammed into one single sentence. I just had to trust exactly what you said and diligently follow through and solve every single compilation error and consequence that resulted out of it. I posted on the relevant pdf2svg issue how I've finally managed to put everything together in case some else finds it useful: https://github.com/dawbarton/pdf2svg/issues/5 Am 05.12.18 um 17:53 schrieb Jeroen Ooms: When static linking you need to include the linker flags for all the dependencies. ___ poppler mailing list poppler@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/poppler
[poppler] Static build
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. Now, with poppler, I got a first compilation error but could solve it as discussed here: https://www.mail-archive.com/poppler@lists.freedesktop.org/msg10543.html With this patch: https://github.com/mpsuzuki/poppler/commit/3f944ed5dee3496e7a7c661eabc3b16448316d13 Which worked fabulously. This should definitely be included in the main poppler branch, I guess, as it looks like it doesnt hurt anyone who isnt compiling statically - but OTOH is hugely helpful for those like me who dare to try it. After that, make continues up until 71%: [ 71%] Linking CXX executable pdftocairo /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libcairo.a(cairo-image-surface.o): in function `_cairo_image_surface_finish': /usr/src/cairo/src/cairo-image-surface.c:846: undefined reference to `pixman_image_unref' /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libcairo.a(cairo-image-surface.o): in function `_cairo_image_surface_init': /usr/src/cairo/src/cairo-image-surface.c:164: undefined reference to `pixman_image_get_data' /usr/bin/ld: /usr/src/cairo/src/cairo-image-surface.c:169: undefined reference to `pixman_image_get_width' /usr/bin/ld: /usr/src/cairo/src/cairo-image-surface.c:170: undefined reference to `pixman_image_get_height' /usr/bin/ld: /usr/src/cairo/src/cairo-image-surface.c:171: undefined reference to `pixman_image_get_stride' /usr/bin/ld: /usr/src/cairo/src/cairo-image-surface.c:172: undefined reference to `pixman_image_get_depth' /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libcairo.a(cairo-image-surface.o): in function `_pixman_format_from_masks': Any help on how to overcome this problem would be much appreciated.

Re: [poppler] Static build
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?

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: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/poppler.rb#L67 ___ poppler mailing list poppler@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/poppler

Your linking error occurs because you're missing -lfreetype. When static linking you need to include the linker flags for all the dependencies. Unfortunately poppler does not correctly record it's private dependencies in the pkg-config file, but try linking with these flags: pkg-config --libs --static poppler-cpp cairo lcms2 libopenjp2 libtiff-4 ___ poppler mailing list poppler@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/poppler
