This is just because the current libpoppler-glib-dev depends on
libgtk2.0-dev instead of libgtk3.0-dev. It  uses GDK in its API, for
instance. This would happen to people using GTK+ 3, not just gtkmm 3.

However, GDK is only used by include files when POPPLER_WITH_GDK is
defined. POPPLER_WITH_GDK is apparently defined during the poppler
build, and I don't think Ubuntu's libpoppler-glib was really built with
that defined. So maybe the dependency is unnecessary. Reassigning to
libpoppler-glib-dev for investigation there.

If GTK+ (or GDK) really is needed, it would be great if libpoppler was
ported to GTK+ 3, but that doesn't seem to have even happened upstream
yet.

** Package changed: gtkmm3.0 (Ubuntu) => poppler (Ubuntu)

** Summary changed:

- Compile error if linking against gtkmm-3.0 and poppler-glib
+ Compile error if linking against GTK+ 3 and poppler-glib via pkg-config

Title:
  Compile error if linking against GTK+ 3 and poppler-glib via pkg-
  config

Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The following test program (test.cpp):

      #include <gtkmm.h>
      #include <poppler.h>
      int main()
      {
           return 0;
      }

  compiled with:

  g++ -o test test.cpp `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkmm-3.0 poppler-
  glib`

  gives the error:

  In file included from /usr/include/gdkmm-3.0/gdkmm/window.h:37:0,
                   from /usr/include/gdkmm-3.0/gdkmm.h:28,
                   from /usr/include/gtkmm-3.0/gtkmm.h:92,
                   from test.cpp:1:
  /usr/include/gdkmm-3.0/gdkmm/rgba.h: In static member function ‘static Gdk::RGBATraits::CType Gdk::RGBATraits::to_c_type(const CppType&)’:
  /usr/include/gdkmm-3.0/gdkmm/rgba.h:251:54: error: return type ‘Gdk::RGBATraits::CType {aka struct _GdkRGBA}’ is incomplete
  /usr/include/gdkmm-3.0/gdkmm/rgba.h: In static member function ‘static Gdk::RGBATraits::CType Gdk::RGBATraits::to_c_type(const CType&)’:
  /usr/include/gdkmm-3.0/gdkmm/rgba.h:252:54: error: return type ‘Gdk::RGBATraits::CType {aka struct _GdkRGBA}’ is incomplete

  Using:
  Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10
  libgtkmm-3.0-1, libgtkmm-3.0-dev version 3.2.0-0ubuntu1

  The same test program compiles just fine with gtkmm-2.4. The
  equivalent C program linked against gtk+-3.0 also compiles fine.

  Moreover, I get no errors with other distributions I tried (Archlinux,
  openSUSE 12.01), even with gtkmm-3.0
