Can't install go-gtk on Mac OSX Yosemite (10.10.4)

[achedeuzot]

When I try to install it using the command go get github.com/mattn/go-gtk/gtk, I get the following error:

 # github.com/mattn/go-gtk/gdk
 ../../../golang/src/github.com/mattn/go-gtk/gdk/gdk_darwin.go:5:10: fatal error: 'gdk/gdkx.h' file not found
 #include <gdk/gdkx.h>
          ^
 1 error generated.

I've checked and pkg-config is correctly configured (I installed gtk+ with brew):

 $ pkg-config --cflags gdk-2.0
 -D_REENTRANT -I/opt/X11/include/cairo -I/opt/X11/include/pixman-1 -I/opt/X11/include -I/opt/X11/include/freetype2 -I/opt/X11/include/libpng15 -I/opt/X11/include -I/usr/local/Cellar/gtk+/2.24.28_2/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/local/Cellar/gtk+/2.24.28_2/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/local/Cellar/pango/1.36.8_1/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/local/Cellar/gdk-pixbuf/2.30.8/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/local/Cellar/libpng/1.6.17/include/libpng16 -I/usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.44.1/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.44.1/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/opt/gettext/include

and the files that it searches exist (gdk/gdkx.h).

Any suggestions on how to solve this ? Thanks a lot !

could you please show me go get -x github.com/mattn/go-gtk/gtk

I got the same error on gdk_darwin.go.

I'm also having this issue and it apparently originates from gtk+ using the quartz backend instead of x11.

gdkx.h is x11's backend header file gdkquartz.h is quartz's backend header file

not sure if the solution is to add support for quartz or a way to get gtk+ compiled with x11.

I've installed everything via brew, which appears to have dropped all support for x11.

FWIW: These guys had a similar issue, not sure exactly how they fixed it as I'm not really a Haskell guy.

X11 backend is gone (https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/pull/39868). GTK+ homebrew formula is quartz only now.

[petschephp]

If you have xQuartz installed on your computer, all you need to do is create a symlink to the header files

ln -s /opt/X11/include/X11 /usr/local/include/X11

Sorry, I don't have Mac OSX. So anyone please give us hints.

[baiyuxiong]

$ pwd /usr/local/Cellar/gtk+/2.24.28_3/include/gtk-2.0/gdk $ ls gdk.h gdk.h $ ls gdkx.h ls: gdkx.h: No such file or directory

248 fixes this, but it has never been merged.

I recommend people to try https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3
