Actually in Cygwin 1.7.17-1 there is a poppler package.

Run setup.exe , and then follow these steps:

  • In the window titled "Install Cygwin" click Next>

  • In the window titled "Cygwin Installation - Select the type of installation", select "Install from the Internet" and click Next>

  • In the window titled “Cygwin Setup - select the installation directory”, leave the root directory as C:\cygwin and “Install for ALL USERS (recommended),” and then click Next>

  • In the window titled “Cygwin Installation - Select the Local Package Directory”, leave the default values ​​and click Next>

  • In the window titled "Cygwin Setup - Select Connection Type", leave the default values ​​(this is a direct Internet connection) and click Next>

  • In the window titled “Cygwin Installation - Select a Site to Download,” select the mirror next to your location and click Next>

  • In a window called "Cygwin Setup - Select Packages", go to the "Text" section of the packages and expand it. (Search for packages starting with "LibPoppler" and "Poppler")

Then just click Next> and wait for the download and installation.

(Poppler was added as a cygwin package about a year after I wrote this answer. Now it installs like any other package.)

Poppler is not a cygwin package. There is no "command" to install it. You need to unpack and build it yourself. (Poppler has two files that you need to download.)

The download is a .tar.gz file. Unzip it, unzip it and go to its directory.

 $ gunzip filename $ tar -xvf filename $ cd poppler-0.16.5

Now find the files with the names "README" and "INSTALL". Read them and follow their instructions.

If you are missing something, download it from Cygwin and install it this way. What you may need if you did not create the program from the source before turning it on
