OSX Installation #19

Open xaviliz opened 4 years ago

xaviliz commented 4 years ago

Hi!

I tried to build it in OSX (High Sierra). I got this error:

cmake .. && cmake --build . CMake Error at /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/3.17.2/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:164 (message): Could NOT find PkgConfig (missing: PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE) Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/3.17.2/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:445 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE) /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/3.17.2/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:45 (find_package_handle_standard_args) CMakeLists.txt:10 (find_package)

It was looking for libXml2, I have installed the package with brew but still the same error.

Do you have any suggestion.

Thanks in advance, XL

Hi! Unfortunately this problem is due to the use pkgconfig to find the GTK3 libraries:

find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
pkg_check_modules(GTKMM3 REQUIRED gtk+-3.0 glibmm-2.4 gtkmm-3.0 gdkmm-3.0)

Is there an equivalent of this on osx?

Hey @dbeurle

sorry I missed this conversation.

Ok, I see. mmm... not sure if there is some equivalent, but I think this could work in OSX: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GTK/OSX/Building

I have to change my machine this weekend. After that I will try it again, otherwise maybe I build a Linux VM

@xaviliz You can turn on notifications on the right hand side.

It seems that support for GTK outside of Linux is patchy. I think you'll have the best luck with a VM. If you get it all working, I'd appreciate some feedback so I can make the process easier. Most of the code was written 20 years ago and I've spent a lot of time just bringing it up to scratch but some features aren't quite there yet. Any help would be appreciated :-)
