I'm a little confused...

Poppler is already part of jhbuild, so you can just "sugar-jhbuild
buildone poppler".

In general to have a library pick up the right paths you have to:

1 Use the pkg-config macros in the configure.ac (most of the libs in the
platform use it, included poppler)

2 Run "sugar-jhbuild shell" so that the environment is setup properly
before doing any manual build.

Is this what you was looking for?
