[gdal-dev] Compiling Poppler plugin under Windows (missing dependencies with GisInterrnals)

[Philippe Ghesquiere]

Hi,

While compiling GDAL V3.8.4 under Windows (Visual Studio 17 2022), I would
like to add the PDF plugin.
I downloaded all dependencies from GisInternals
<https://www.gisinternals.com>.
The PDF plugin compilation, based on Poppler, fails due to missing
dependencies for poppler.lib.
I found a not-documented cmake variable used in FindPoppler.cmake:
POPPLER_EXTRA_LIBRARIES.

I tried to initialize it in my cmake configuration file :
set (POPPLER_EXTRA_LIBRARIES
"E:/00_GIT/GisInternals/release-1930-x64/lib/libjpeg.lib
E:/00_GIT/GisInternals/release-1930-x64/lib/libpng16_static.lib
E:/00_GIT/GisInternals/release-1930-x64/lib/tiff.lib" CACHE STRING "" FORCE)

The compilation process fails due to errors in
1) <AdditionalUsingDirectories> : it contains directories and the extra
librairies :
<AdditionalUsingDirectories>E:/00_GIT/GisInternals/release-1930-x64/lib;E:/00_GIT/GisInternals/release-1930-x64/lib/libjpeg.lib
E:/00_GIT/GisInternals/release-1930-x64/lib/libpng16_static.lib
E:/00_GIT/GisInternals/release-1930-x64/lib;E:/00_GIT/PDFium/lib</AdditionalUsingDirectories>

2) <AdditionalDependencies> : the extra librairies are separated by a
space, not a semicolon
<AdditionalDependencies>..\..\Debug\gdald.lib;E:\00_GIT\GisInternals\release-1930-x64\lib\poppler.lib;E:\00_GIT\PDFium\lib\pdfium.lib;winmm.lib;E:\00_GIT\GisInternals\release-1930-x64\lib\libjpeg.lib
E:\00_GIT\GisInternals\release-1930-x64\lib\libpng16_static.lib
E:\00_GIT\GisInternals\release-1930-x64\lib\tiff.lib;kernel32.lib;user32.lib;gdi32.lib;winspool.lib;shell32.lib;ole32.lib;oleaut32.lib;uuid.lib;comdlg32.lib;advapi32.lib</AdditionalDependencies>

I guess, I did not initialize POPPLER_EXTRA_LIBRARIES:

   - is its type STRING ?
   - what separator should I use between library name ?

Thanks for your help
