#41984: gtksourceview2 fails to build -----------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: subscriber@… | Owner: micah.lerner@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gtksourceview2 | -----------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by wdc@…): I too had the same build failure under MacOS 10.6. (build log attached.) With the help of some folks on IRC, I understand the root cause and offer a kludge around the problems. 1. The errors of the form: :info:build /opt/local/bin/glib-mkenums: gtksourceview.h:131: Failed to parse ` GTK_SOURCE_DRAW_SPACES_TAB | \ ' are caused by a really nasty assignment in an enum in gtksourceview.h which chokes glib-mkenums. The attached file gtksourceview2.h.patch demonstrates a kludge to fix this. As near as I can tell, the complex r-value in the enum is just more than glib-mkenums can cope with. 2. After that is fixed, however, the build still fails to find the basic gtk objects. The errors look like this: :info:build In file included from ../gtksourceview/gtksourceview.h:30, :info:build from gtksourceview-typebuiltins.h:13, :info:build from gtksourceview.c:39: :info:build ../gtksourceview/gtksourcecompletion.h:60: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'GtkObject' :info:build gtksourceview.c:268: error: expected ')' before '*' token :info:build gtksourceview.c: In function 'gtk_source_view_class_init': The root cause of this is some sort of mis-understanding of dependencies that happens when installing ige-mac-integration (a dependency listed for gtksourceview2) after gtk3 is installed. (For example if you've installed gnumeric, it wants gtk3. gtk3 and gtk2 are separate and don't want to co-mingle, but when ige-mac-integration gets installed, it decides it wants to link against gtk3. Those includes shadow the gtk2 includes needed to successfully build gtksourceview2. A kludgy work-around is simply to tell configure.ac not to bother with ige-mac-integration. configure.ac.patch demonstrates the change. I've been told that the right long term solution is either to modify gtksourceview2 to use gtk-mac-integration instead, or to quit using gtksourceview2, since gtk2 is no longer actively supported. I leave it to the port maintainers to decide on the best course of action going forward, and hope that this information makes that work easier. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41984#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
