I am trying to transition to Emacs (org.gnu.emacs) run via Flatpak.
A hurdle I am running into is that I cannot compile pdf-tools. The log shows
-*- mode: compilation; default-directory: "~/.emacs.d/elpa/pdf-tools-20240429.407/build/server/" -*-

Configuring and compiling
---------------------------
./configure -q --bindir=/home/tamas/.emacs.d/elpa/pdf-tools-20240429.407/ && make clean && make -s
configure: error: Package requirements (poppler) were not met:
Package 'poppler' not found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables poppler_CFLAGS
and poppler_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Note: maybe try the '-d' option.

What is the recommended way to have the poppler headers and libraries available to the container?
