Managed to build it with poppler-0.59.0.

The poppler API regarding the class "Object" has changed. The code in font.cc and CairoBackgroundRenderer.cc uses the older API.

I had to remove all calls to free() and change for example following calls:
old font.cc line 81:

if(dict->lookup("DescendantFonts", &font_obj2)->isArray())

new font.cc 81:

font_obj2 = dict->lookup("DescendantFonts");
if(font_obj2.isArray())

and so on.

I encountered another problem described in 722 and unfortunately cannot test if the code changes above also ensure correct behavior.

@billeranton maybe open a PR so that the ball moves forward on getting this resolved?
