macports GTK4

[efa]

macports support GTK4, but I saw that osxcross-macports do not:

$ osxcross-macports search gtk4
no matching packages found for gtk4

In the future is it planned to support GTK4?

Both osxcross-macports search gtk4 and osxcross-macports install gtk4 worked for me.

https://github.com/tpoechtrager/osxcross/blob/50e86ebca7d14372febd0af8cd098705049161b9/tools/osxcross-macports#L457-L495

osxcross-macports search <pattern> downloads the $MIRROR page (e.g. https://packages.macports.org/), gets the values of all href attributes (i.e. URL, which is expected to be just a package name), saves those to $CACHE/INDEXCACHE (which should be osxcross/target/macports/cache/INDEXCACHE by default), then searches that $CACHE/INDEXCACHE with the specified pattern.

Try visiting the mirror page with your browser and see if you can ctrl + f the package.

Similarly osxcross-macports install ... just downloads the compiled binaries from the mirror. So if macports doesn't provide the binaries for some reason, there is no easy way to obtain or compile them with osxcross. There is also osxcross-macports fake-install ... which allows you to ignore a missing dependency when installing a package. Although this trick isn't needed to install gtk4.

I have 'py311-setuptools' line in: $osxcross/target/macports/cache/INDEXCACHE

[efa]

seems work with: $ omp fake-install py311-setuptools
