Again I missed the 14 day response time by a few hours
I do intent to add a few more examples for GTK4 to the Nim bindings readme, as we have only one currently.
Unfortunately Gentoo Linux still have to GTK4 for testing. But maybe one year ago I already installed gtk 3.96 on /opt, see
I tried to remember the steps. Most difficult for me is finding the page with the instructions, but it was saved in the old forum post. Then I followed the instructions, that is
$ cat ~/gtk4_install
rm -rf /opt/gtk
mkdir /opt/gtk
cd
rm -rf gtk
git clone https://β¦

I just tried what you suggested as
meson --prefix /opt/gtk builddir
ninja -C builddir
ninja -C builddir install
So I did
rm -rf /opt/gtk
rm -rf gtk
git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk.git
cd gtk
meson --prefix /opt/gtk builddir
But that results in
meson.build:358:2: ERROR: Inconsistency: Subproject has overriden the dependency with another variable than 'libpangoft2_dep'
So that recipe is too simple. I have no idea what the concrete problem is, but I think I have to fall back to my initial solution, hope that that one will still work.
And I now get the same error with my initial install script!
Maybe my meson is broken?
$ meson -v
0.54.1
Or maybe GTK4 now requires pango 1.45, what is not available?

I feel you, I am subscribed to hundreds of open source projects so it may sometimes take more that two weeks to follow up. Discourse already has βthis topic is oldβ warning to discourage necro-bumps so I feel force closing is more annoying than necessary.
Regardng the error, Meson 0.54 started caching dependencies so it would notice inconsistencies like this. Perhaps GTK/Pango still did not catch up? Try downgrading Meson to 0.53.2.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I will try downgrading Meson, I think my gentoo box upgraded it recently.
If that will not help then I will use gtk 3.98.3 git tag, as that worked some weeks ago. From the gtk readme I got the impression that current gtk is already 3.98.4.
Indeed, it is an issue with meson 0.54.1. Downgrading to 0.53.1 has fixed the issue.
And your simple instructions for GTK4 install works indeed, I did
cd
rm -rf /opt/gtk
rm -rf gtk
git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk.git
cd gtk
meson --prefix /opt/gtk builddir
ninja -C builddir
ninja -C builddir install
and I can launch gtk4-demo with
GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=/opt/gtk/share/glib-2.0/schemas /opt/gtk/bin/gtk4-demo
During install there where a few error messages, but I ignored them and can not remember the content now.
