Can't compile with homebrew. Please provide binaries for OSX! #209

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 10 years ago

I tried the instructions for OSX build. I tap it but it can't find it on "brew install" / "brew search" and also there are issues with libtoxcore for my brew.

Could you please provide OSX binaries? It would really help noobs like me!

I am not maintaining the tox homebrew scripts, @stal888 chose to remove the GUIs from https://github.com/Tox/homebrew-tox (see Tox/homebrew-tox@c53b4c81d1f4f94bb843fffebf7a7e5eb31d0d5e).

I will try to resolve this in some way.

It is possible to compile Venom with homebrew, although Venom doesn't seem to work too well on OSX (it connects, but doesn't seem to be able to add friends).

Install all of the dependencies through homebrew (vala, cmake, libgtk+3, libsqlite, libnotify and json-glib) and XQuartz.

You may need to force link a few of these libs (brew link --force)

gtk+3 may cause some problems, if after installing the make still complains about not being able to find gtk+3, try the following;

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/cairo/1.12.16/lib/pkgconfig/

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig

Edit: A list of homebrew formulas can be found at http://brewformulas.org/

Closing this as it's outdated, the build instructions have to be updated as well.
