Created attachment 865003 [details] kde-apps/okular-22.12.3 build.log This is related to me trying to be able to use PDF annotations, and encountering issues detailed in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471792 It seems that Poppler up to and including 23.05 is basically unusable for annotating PDFs IRL (at least as it's used by Okular). So I tried ~amd64 of app-text/poppler-23.06. I noticed that my Okular would now say "Using Poppler 23.06.0, Built against Poppler 23.01.0". Since my issue is not completely resolved, I tried rebuilding kde-apps/okular-22.12.3 against app-text/poppler-23.06, but this gives a compile error: FAILED: generators/poppler/CMakeFiles/okularGenerator_poppler.dir/generator_pdf.cpp.o [...] In file included from /var/tmp/portage/kde-apps/okular-22.12.3/work/okular-22.12.3/generators/poppler/formfields.h:12, from /var/tmp/portage/kde-apps/okular-22.12.3/work/okular-22.12.3/generators/poppler/generator_pdf.cpp:58: /usr/include/poppler/qt5/poppler-form.h:876:6: error: ‘optional’ in namespace ‘std’ does not name a template type 876 | std::optional<CryptoSignBackend> POPPLER_QT5_EXPORT activeCryptoSignBackend(); | ^~~~~~~~ /usr/include/poppler/qt5/poppler-form.h:876:1: note: ‘std::optional’ is only available from C++17 onwards 876 | std::optional<CryptoSignBackend> POPPLER_QT5_EXPORT activeCryptoSignBackend(); | ^~~ /var/tmp/portage/kde-apps/okular-22.12.3/work/okular-22.12.3/generators/poppler/generator_pdf.cpp: In member function ‘virtual bool PDFGenerator::canSign() const’: /var/tmp/portage/kde-apps/okular-22.12.3/work/okular-22.12.3/generators/poppler/generator_pdf.cpp:2026:34: warning: ‘bool Poppler::hasNSSSupport()’ is deprecated [-Wdeprecated-declarations] 2026 | return Poppler::hasNSSSupport(); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~ /usr/include/poppler/qt5/poppler-form.h:908:48: note: declared here 908 | bool POPPLER_QT5_DEPRECATED POPPLER_QT5_EXPORT hasNSSSupport(); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. * ERROR: kde-apps/okular-22.12.3::gentoo failed (compile phase): [...] It seems that the headers of app-text/poppler-23.06 require a newer c++ language level than kde-apps/okular-22.12.3 builds with. I'll have a try building kde-apps/okular-23.04.2 (~amd64) to see whether that helps with my issue(s). Mostly, this is a "heads up" that stabilizing PDF annotation functionality in Okular / under gentoo KDE is a bit bumpy at this point in time. I'm also happy to hear about good alternatives for a PDF annotation workflow under gentoo/KDE.
Fixed with 23.04.2, next stable poppler is not going to be before 23.07.0. https://invent.kde.org/graphics/okular/-/commit/cf13c2f6991fa3039906ca36ac31b3866de6cce9
