I am attempting to build the tool from this repo: https://github.com/taurus-forever/diffpdf-console

It requires the headerfile poppler-qt4.h to run its Makefile, which is supposedly included in some poppler dependency. The problem here is that I've installed every poppler dep I can think of from apt-get, and still can't find it. The dep "python-poppler-qt4" seems to be what I'm looking for, but I cannot locate the package on Ubuntu 18.04.

Google isn't helping. Does anyone know how to install the dep for poppler-qt4 on Ubuntu 18.04?

    1. Can you post the specific error stack trace 2. Have you tried using pip? – kaki gadol Nov 27 '19 at 15:24
  • Looks better. I tried "pip3 install python-poppler-qt4", got an error about sipdistutils.py missing, so I followed https://github.com/frescobaldi/python-poppler-qt5/issues/14 and manually placed it in site-packages. However, now I'm getting the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sipconfig' – hipsterstomper69 Nov 27 '19 at 15:33

just tried with apt-file find poppler-qt4.h

and it says

emscripten: /usr/share/emscripten/tests/poppler/qt4/src/poppler-qt4.h

so sudo apt install emscripten should do it
