gtkmm failed to build on 10.9.1

Logs and details:

Looks tricky:

libtool: link: clang++ [...]
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"Glib::ustring::ustring(std::string const&)", referenced from:
Gdk::DragContext::get_selection() const in dragcontext.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[1]: *** [libgdkmm-2.4.la] Error 1

And gtkmm is a dependency for inkscape.

Please post your brew doctor as well.

[mistydemeo]

Try rebuilding its dependencies, like glib.

My brew doctor:

https://gist.github.com/sbp/9158848#file-brew-doctor

[sbp]

$ brew remove glibmm gtk+ libsigc++ pangomm atkmm cairomm
$ brew install glibmm gtk+ libsigc++ pangomm atkmm cairomm
$ brew install gtkmm

Results in the same error.

[adamv]

Missed some deps.

[sbp]

$ brew info gtkmm

$ brew remove xz pkg-config glibmm gtk+ libsigc++ pangomm atkmm cairomm 
$ brew install xz pkg-config glibmm gtk+ libsigc++ pangomm atkmm cairomm

Results in the same error.

[mistydemeo]

Try removing glib as well as glibmm.

Can I see the build logs from your second attempt?

[sbp]

$ brew uninstall $(brew deps gtkmm)
$ brew install atk atkmm cairo cairomm fontconfig freetype \
    gdk-pixbuf gettext glib glibmm gobject-introspection gtk+ \
    harfbuzz icu4c jpeg libffi libpng libsigc++ libtiff pango \
    pangomm pixman pkg-config xz
$ brew install gtkmm

Results in the same error.

Logs from this installation attempt are here:

-lstdc++

Hm, I wonder what the chances are that it's trying to build against libstdc++ when its deps were all built with libc++.

[mistydemeo]

I can't reproduce this, however my 02.make.cc doesn't include -lstdc++ anywhere.

[adamv]

I'm sorry we don't have a better answer for this.

Since this has been opened there have been updates to most of the gtkmm dependency tree, so at this point the way forward is to (again, sorry) remove all of the dependencies and let them rebuild. If it still fails, we'll need updated troubleshooting information.
