Yes, it fails without it:
CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:32 (message):
Couldn't find Qt4 or Qt5 -- will not build xpdf.
From the xpdf INSTALL file:
* Make sure you have the following installed:
- CMake 2.8.8 or newer
- FreeType 2.0.5 or newer
- Qt 4.8.x or 5.x (for xpdf only)
- libpng (for pdftoppm and pdftohtml)
- zlib (for pdftoppm and pdftohtml)
If Qt isn't found, the GUI viewer (xpdf) won't be built, but the
command line tools will still be built.
This is also documented here:
http://www.xpdfreader.com/download.html
There may exist a cmake param to get the old bare xpdf, but
I've not found it.
