[Bug]: installation of pdftools requires poppler on linux #382
Description
Describe the bug
I am on a linux machine (codespaces) and I am having trouble installing {asar} because it requires {pdftools}, which on linux requires that I have poppler installed.
* installing *source* package ‘pdftools’ ...
** package ‘pdftools’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** using staged installation
Package poppler-cpp was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `poppler-cpp.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'poppler-cpp' found
Using PKG_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/poppler/cpp -I/usr/include/poppler
Using PKG_LIBS=-lpoppler-cpp
--------------------------- [ANTICONF] --------------------------------
Configuration failed to find 'poppler-cpp' system library. Try installing:
* rpm: poppler-cpp-devel (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL)
* brew: poppler (MacOS)
* deb: libpoppler-cpp-dev (Debian, Ubuntu, etc)
If poppler-cpp is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a poppler-cpp.pc file. If pkg-config
is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'
-------------------------- [ERROR MESSAGE] ---------------------------
<stdin>:1:10: fatal error: poppler-document.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘pdftools’
* removing ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/pdftools’
I tried
sudo apt-get install libpoppler-cpp-dev
which was successful but it is not in the necessary paths to be able to install the package
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y libpoppler-cpp-dev
and then installed {pdftools} in a new R session. Some of this information might be helpful on the README because I feel that the number of people running things in remote linux-like environments is going to increase with time.
