Error compiling qpdfview

Hello LinuxUsr,

the output you posted is sadly not the error itself but only the summary by make that there was an error. To diagnose this, we need earlier parts of the output, presumably the error generated by g++. That said and since it already failed building the PDF plug-in, do you have the development headers for Poppler installed? Depending on your distribution, this is libpoppler-qt5/6-dev or libpoppler-qt5/6-devel.

Regards,
Adam

Thanks. I checked; I have the development headers installed. Here is the full output of "make".

Hello again,

thanks for the full log. The error

sources/model.h:46:22: error: field ‘boundary’ has incomplete type ‘QPainterPath’

is rather strange as "model.h" does include that "QPainterPath", c.f. https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~adamreichold/qpdfview/trunk/view/head:/sources/model.h#L27

Do you use the current trunk to build it? (I ask because the offending declaration should be at line 47 in that version.) Is the error the same when using Qt version 6?

Regards,
Adam

Hi... Thanks. This is what I am using https://launchpad.net/qpdfview/trunk/0.4.18/+download/qpdfview-0.4.18.tar.gz, the latest version available at https://launchpad.net/qpdfview.

Thanks. It gave the same error. Anyway, we can close the case. It should be a problem with my setup. Thanks much.

Thanks Adam Reichold, that solved my question.

Just wanted to add that this worked perfectly now. Sometimes "make clean" is not enough. So, I deleted everything, got a fresh version (the trunk you pointed to), and compiled. Worked perfectly. Looks beautiful. Thanks much.
