Error installing dependencies on Mac

[Vortec4800]

When running this command: brew install qt5 cairo poppler --with-qt5 I get the error:

Error: invalid option: --with-qt5

Is there a new version of something that doesn't like this flag? I'm not able to install the module without passing this, as the npm install complains about not being able to find the required frameworks.

I'm having the same error as above

I'm on Mojave running Homebrew 2.1.0

Same for me, running Mojave 10.14.4 with Homebrew 2.1.2.

These steps eventually got the installation working:

brew rm poppler; brew install -s poppler
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/libffi/lib/pkgconfig"
npm install pdf-fill-form

When running the app, I now see:

Error: .../node_modules/pdf-fill-form/build/Release/pdf_fill_form.node: invalid ELF header

I also tried deleting the package-lock.json file and running npm i again. This upgraded to version "pdf-fill-form": "^4.1.0", but I'm still seeing the ELF header error.
