[gdal-dev] building with PDF driver on Windows

[Joaquim Luis]

Hi,

I tried to build GDAL on Win with PDF support and CV2010

Well that's an adventure. Instructions on how to build poppler are 
completely absent (but there is on CMake list file that we may try to 
guess what's essential from the optional stuff).  Building free type 
raised an error somewhere (something about an already defined INT32)

Next, there was this error (easily fixed with a pair of '/')

C:/programs/compa_libs/poppler\goo/gtypes.h(31) : error C2371: 'GBool' : 
redefinition; different bas ic types
         ..\..\port\cpl_port.h(169) : see declaration of 'GBool'

But finally I stopped at the errors bellow. I see in the nmake.opt that 
it links also against liblcms-1.lib. I don't know this one but Google 
seams indicate that it is
"Little CMS (color management engine)". Is that so? And the errors below 
are they explained by the fact that I'm not linking against this lib?
Clearly, we need a bit more info on how build with PDF support.

Thanks

Joaquim
