What program showed the error?

the shared library is in /bin btw

[jspraul]

Thanks for the pointer to the shared library. Here is the command in different paths:

MINGW64 /
$ pdftotext
C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/pdftotext.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler-59.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

MINGW64 /c/msys64/mingw64/bin
$ pdftotext
C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/pdftotext.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[lazka]

Huh, weird. pdftotext links against libpoppler-70.dll and both are in the same package. No idea.

[jspraul]

I will pacman -Syu a few times, 1 sec. It's been a while.

edit: hit this msys2/MSYS2-packages#1024

[jspraul]

Now it looks like this:

MSYS /c/msys64/mingw64
$ bin/pdftotext.exe
C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/pdftotext.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler-70.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

MSYS /c/msys64/mingw64/bin
$ ./pdftotext.exe
C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/pdftotext.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

MSYS /c/msys64/mingw64/bin
$ ls poppler
libpoppler-70.dll libpoppler-glib-8.dll
libpoppler-cpp-0.dll libpoppler-qt5-1.dll

MSYS /c/msys64/mingw64/bin
$ ls ../lib/poppler
../lib/libpoppler.a ../lib/libpoppler-glib.a
../lib/libpoppler.dll.a ../lib/libpoppler-glib.dll.a
../lib/libpoppler-59.dll ../lib/libpoppler-qt5.a

I have had the same problem with pdfimages. It was a missing dependency for openjpeg2. It seems that poppler now depend on openjpeg2 instead of openjpeg.

@GuilGA45 looks like that's it, thanks!
