Embedded pdfium in C++ application

I'm currently trying to build a C++ application witch is able to convert PDF files to images.
I want to use pdfium to do this.

So I built pdfium as explain in the wiki and copied headers and generated libs in my cmake project.

When I try to build my application I get the following error:

src/include/pdfium-linux64/v8/include/libplatform/libplatform.h:8:33: fatal error: include/v8-platform.h: no such file or directory

In fact in this file there is:

#include "include/v8-platform.h"

But directories are like this:

include
| pdfium-linux64
| | v8
| | | include
| | | | libplatform
| | | | \ libplatform.h
| | | | v8-platform.h
| | | \ ...
| | \ ...
| \ ...
\ ...

So it could not work..

Does anyone have an idea of what to do to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance.
