Hi How do I install gtk2 on OSX 10.3.9? If I "port install" gtk2 it fails to build because it can't find the cups include files. So, I install cups-headers and all it does is to install a README that says:-
The cups-headers port is a placeholder port that is only really meaningful on Mac OS X 10.3.x (Jaguar).
If you have ports on other versions of Mac OS X that break on bad cups headers or library files, then this port should be uninstalled.
This port should only install this readme file on versions of Mac OS X other than Jaguar.
But I am on Jaguar! I then notice that there is a variant "darwin_7", so I install that instead, this gives me the cups headers in /opt/local/include/cups. Then when I try to install gtk2 it stops saying:
The cups-headers port may prevent building this port. Please uninstall (or deactivate) cups-headers and restart the build.
huh? Surely cups-headers will allow me to build this (or maybe it will fail later in the build)?? So I google around a bit and find that installing gtk28 is probably what I want to do (since that doesn't need the cups stuff). So I install that and it works. Great. Next I try to install libbonoboui but that depends on gtk2, so it tries to install the version that won't build because "gtk28" doesn't satisfy the "gtk2" dependency. Grrrr.... How do I do this then? Do I have to now work out the deps by hand because port can't do it? Dave -- Dave Hill - dave at hillcroft dot org dot uk
