No icon window available

[Vixeliz]

I have no idea why this is happening can't seem to find any info online. I just get this error message 'No icon window available' and it refuses to launch.

Maybe, because emacs can't find emacs.svg or can't read it.

In my environment, it is installed in /usr/share/emacs/28.0.50/etc/images/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/emacs.svg, and the data-directory variable is /usr/share/emacs/28.0.50/etc/.

looking at an strace log it seems to find it

If it is of help here is the strace log https://termbin.com/8morg.

This can be fixed by changing the error messages in

src/w32fns.c
src/xfns.c
src/pgtkfns.c

to warning via printf or the likes.

Thank you for the strace log.

You need svg support of gdk-pixbuf.

/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache should contain:

"/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-svg.so"
"svg" 6 "gdk-pixbuf" "Scalable Vector Graphics" "LGPL"
"image/svg+xml" "image/svg" "image/svg-xml" "image/vnd.adobe.svg+xml" "text/xml-svg" "image/svg+xml-compressed" ""
"svg" "svgz" "svg.gz" ""
" <svg" "*    " 100
" <!DOCTYPE svg" "*             " 100

libpixbufloader-svg.so should load librsvg.

luna:~ % ldd /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-svg.so | grep svg
    librsvg-2.so.2 => /usr/lib/librsvg-2.so.2 (0x00007f75fa221000)

I dont have rust on my system for librsvg :/. But its no worries when I packaged it I just replaced error with printf and it works fine for me now.

Would you be interested in doing this upstream? It will still warn the user but allow for people without svg support to be able to use this.

pgtk emacs can be built without librsvg, but it fails to start. That is an issue.

I want pgtk emacs to work without librsvg before pushing to fsf's repository. I'll re-port X-code to handle icon images to pgtk.

Could you try #77? It should fix this issue.
