I uploaded a basic build structure in the git module Ivan created for us
(thanks).

git+ssh://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/poppler-python

Assuming you have sugar-jhbuild you can do something like this to get
started.

./sugar-jhbuild shell

Checkout poppler-python

Inside the poppler-python directory:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/home/marco/sugar-jhbuild/build
make
make install

We can build poppler CVS in sugar-jhbuild, so the way to go would
probably be to get the necessary fixes upstream...

It can come from the operating system or from sugar-jhbuild. The
configure.ac script I put together checks for this.

Let me know if you have issues or questions on how this works...
