This accutally is probably more a problem of qt4. At least with poppler-0.6.0 I had exactly the same problem and was able to workaround this, by telling the configure from poppler to skip the QT bindings at all. I guess the problem lays somewhere in the *.la files from qt4.

Cc'ing maintainer of qt4-mac.

I just committed a fix - maybe temporary - in changeset:32168

[jochen@…]

Okay, we used to see this problem with Qt before, it is due to the following in libQtGui.la (and others)

-framework Carbon

I do not remember the details form my head and do not have too much time right now. Will look into it soon.

Does this still happen with poppler 0.8.0?

[develop@…]

Yes, for me the problem still persists with the latest poppler-0.8.0
