[Ipe-discuss] pdf2ipe compile error

[Otfried Cheong]

poppler changed dramatically at some point, replacing their own type GooString by C++'s std::string.

There is a branch old-poppler on the ipe-tools repository that will work with Poppler version v0.68.  The master branch needs poppler v0.73 or something like that.

Cheers,
  Otfried
