Comment 29 for bug 499592

To share my experiences:
I successfully compiled pypoppler based on custom build poppler 0.15.3, using mingw.
Additional to a stock mingw development install and python2.7, find attache some usefull scripts I used, among others:
- notes.txt: all the hacks I needed to apply
- mktree.sh: script for automatically generating a GTK development tree based
- .profile: profile to use for the mingw shell

Hope this helps.

P.s.: in case anyone is interested in the binaries I compiled, I can make them available somewhere.
