Unable to build

Hi.

I am getting the following error when building:

Package gtk+-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-3.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

I have installed all the dependencies mentioned in the README.md and used export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/bin/pkgconf to point to the pkgconf file but to no avail.

I am using Fedora 34.

EDIT: also worth mentioning that the AppImage doesn't work, either.

Really weird, are you sure your GTK 3 install is correct? Is the package gtk+-3.0 installed on your machine?

If you run the AppImage from the console, does it give any output?

[telometto]

Thanks for the answer. It gives the following output:

(samrewritten:18793): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 10:26:56.482: Settings schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings' does not contain a key named 'antialiasing'
/tmp/.mount_SamRewTsP3uc/AppRun: line 8: 18793 Trace/breakpoint trap   (core dumped) ${SCRIPT_PATH}/samrewritten $@

It looks like a glib error, but I do have all the required packages installed.

[PaulCombal]

From what I can find, the AppImage must be rebuilt with a newer version, so that's on the repo maintainer's end (me, but not anytime soon).

Regarding the building issue, did you try: sudo dnf install gtk3-devel ?

[telometto]

Finally got it to work! Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the help, but the issue was pretty simple: adding export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/bin/pkgconf wasn't enough apparently, so I had to enter export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/bin/pkgconf:/usr/lib/pkgconfig instead.

Hope this helps people in the future, too!

Sorry to add to a closed issue but I'm having the exact same drama, except I'm on Fedora 35 - tried telometto's fix but that didn't work for me.

Doing some googling suggests a 32-bit and a 64-bit disconnect - dumb question but is SamRewritten 32-bit?

[PaulCombal]

Hi, as far as I know I didn't tweak my configuration too much, so it should default to 64 bits. I have no clue if this changes anything at all, I didn't fiddle with this too much. From what I can gather from your trace, I guess it has something to do with your GTK/GDK install and maybe pkg-config stuff. As noted in the milestones the next big step regarding the build chain would be to use conan or vcpkg to avoid this kind of cross-distro issues, so that is what I should focus on next time I work on this project. Feel free to make a PR and/or ask for help if you want to contribute to this btw!
