Compiling GTK 4.11.4 on macOS

Paul_Emsley · July 30, 2023, 11:59pm

Hi,
I am following up on the previously described issue of menu items not working on macOS, with which lb90 game me some help (for which I am greatful). It seems to me that the best way I could get more information is compile GTK4 myself.

Using homebrew as a base and Homebrew gtk4.rb as a guide:

            meson setup --prefix=$HOME/gtk4 \
            --warnlevel 0 \
            -Dgtk_doc=false \
            -Dman-pages=true \
            -Dintrospection=enabled \
            -Dbuild-examples=false \
            -Dbuild-tests=false \
            -Dmedia-gstreamer=disabled \
            -Dx11-backend=false \
            -Dmacos-backend=true \
            ../gtk-4.11.4

meson seems to complete without error, however ninja quickly runs into a problem:

Is this an error in GTK 4 or my usage of command line arguments?

My guess is that I need to prevent the OS header /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Headers/gl3.h from being included. I don’t know how to do that.

Homebrew provides libexpoxy 1.5.10.

I don’t see anything in the gtk4.rb to handle conflicts in OpenGL.

Thanks,

Paul.

Hello, Paul!

Compilation failures on macOS should be fixed with gdk: Fix compilation on macos (!6208) · Merge requests · GNOME / gtk · GitLab

As for the menu issue, consider reverting commit e7f798dc; that alone should make menus work again. See gtkpopovermenu click doesn't work on macOS (#5913) · Issues · GNOME / gtk · GitLab

BR,
Luca

Hello Luca!
Thanks for your reply.
I can confirm that gdk: Fix compilation on macos (!6208) · Merge requests · GNOME / gtk · GitLab does indeed fix the compilation problem.
That’s good progress.

As to the second, I haven’t got that to work. Yet? I think that my application is getting linked with the Homebrew gtk4 libs rather than my build of the gtk4 libs. Maybe.

I’m still tinkering with it.

Regards,

Paul.

Paul_Emsley · August 1, 2023, 6:12am

@lb90,

It was a bit of a struggle to get the library linked at runtime - and I somehow managed it - but with lots of warnings.

But it works! Yahoooooooo! I’ve been working on the interface upgrade for about 4 years and this was the last significant failure/item on the TODO list. Now it’s done! Yaaaaay! (Mac is my my platform of choice, but it’s what many of my users use).

As I say, I am very grateful.

(I doubt that you will have heard of my project, it’s called Coot, and is (as far as I can tell) the most highly cited Free Software program).)

Regards and a thousand thanks.

Paul

Wow, congrats! Coot is looking great!
