Vcpkg: Poppler isn't available

[RealLitb]

Following the advice from MSDN, I want to recommend to add the "Poppler" PDF library, which uses CMake as buildsystem. Poppler supports rendering using Qt and Cairo, both of which are already available in vcpkg.

I've created a port for poppler, available here. It has only been tested on Windows (x64, dynamic linkage). It would be nice if someone had the time to fully test it and make a PR.

Thank you for creating port-file.
When compiling with x86-windows, the following error occurred.

I cannot solve this problem. I need help. Please let me know if you know. Thank you.

@Hideki2103 I have no clue either. Maybe try this https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/issues/4950: deleted the entire content under the folder C:/vcpkg/downloads, and reinstall?

Thank you for your comment. I issued a Microsoft New Port Request. I'll try the method you gave me later because I have another library installed.

[Hideki2103]

Good evening. At last I installed the qt5 library in vcpkg and started working on the problem with the portfile.cmake file. We did not get satisfactory results as intermediate results. The build went through, but the poppler executable and poppler-qt5.lib and poppler-glib library files could not be generated. The port directory and package at that time will be attached. Please let me know if you know.

I deleted the contents of C: / vcpkg / downloads, but there was no change.

@Hideki2103 Sorry I have no solution to your problem at the moment. But I'm considering making a new port for poppler 0.80 as soon as I find the time. I'll keep you posted.

[Hideki2103]

Thank you for your reply. I am waiting for port-file to be uploaded. I will study about CMake and try to contribute to the product someday.

@Hideki2103 Hi, finally I made new ports for poppler(v0.82.0) and poppler-data (v0.4.9). Despite that it failed all the tests (didn't get any useful information from build artifacts; seems fixing those problems is above my pay grade which is none, so I'll just leave it there), you can still manually download the port files and try it out. Please also update lcms portfile and (re)install it, otherwise LCMS2 could not be found. Feature splash has to be selected if you are not using glib. Please let me know if you have further questions or run into problems.
