Poppler is a PDF library you can use to code framework or application for several platform.
This is how to build its 0.24.5 version for Windows XP.
Prerequisites
- Windows XP OS. For testing purposes, you can consider VM from IEVMS.
- MSYS2 Base for i686 arch. By time this is written, I use msys2-base-i686-20140507.tar.xz.
- GCC & make. If not installed in MSYS2, it can be done using pacman:
pacman -S gcc make
(I have built poppler using GCC 4.5.2 for compat).
