Re: Adding cairo support to print/poppler

Note that that's only a build dependency.

Yes.

It's weird. If you build poppler with cairo enabled, it will build, but 
not install a libpoppler-cairo.la. If you enable building the utilities,
it uses that to build and install pdftocairo. It probably also uses it to 
build the glib interface (if enabled). So
-- you need to enable cairo to build the glib interface
-- if you enable cairo, building the utils adds pdftocairo
-- other than that, enabling cairo only adds poppler-cairo.pc.

I do have a local poppler-cairo-utils package (call that pdftocairo if you 
prefer) that only supplies pdftocairo and builds with the poppler package 
as is (you need a correction to patch-ab that incorrectly assumes 
libpoppler-cairo to get installed, which it isn't). Essentially, it is

This provides PDF (Portable Document Format) utilities from the
poppler project. Some of these are based on the versions from xpdf.

This poppler-cairo-utils package provides:
