And I dont really know how to dig any further, any idea?

I hope that I’ll be able to install glib with homebrew

i ran into this today while doing an upgrade. after debugging a bit, it seems that gtester immediately segfaults after invoking fork. the child process does not even get to main_selftest. it seems like there is a bug in the implementation of g_spawn_async_with_pipes_and_fds

Which version were you using before upgrading?

visigoth · May 6, 2023, 5:21am

my currently installed version is 2.74.4.

I’m hitting the same problem. I think having homebrew outside of /opt/homebrew is forcing glib to build from sources and building fails like in ycsin’s logs.

Any suggestions how we can fix this glib build issue?

Until we get a proper fix, I worked around the issue by running with --debug, dropping into shell, editing build/build.meson to remove all references to gtester + tmpsample.xml + test.gresource (the next failure).

visigoth · May 16, 2023, 5:55pm

that worked well enough for me to move forward for now, but i hope someone actually looks at the failure.

@JayRod12 yes it is being forced to build from source because my homebrew cellar/prefix are different from the default.

Looks like fork() in macOS is not very reliable:
