No, harfbuzz-no-cairo fails to build because the rebuild of
freetype-no-harfbuzz *didn't* succeed in removing its dependency on brotli.
That's what

is telling you. One possibility is that the install step didn't replace
/Users/gtkdeveloper/gnucash/inst/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc, the other is that
cmake ignored FT_DISABLE_BROTLI perhaps because BROTLIDEC_INCLUDE_DIRS:PATH and
BROTLIDEC_LIBRARIES:FILEPATH are already set in CMakeCache.txt.

Sigh. Here's the problem:
https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/890d44792307134b41274b52cd972e4944af7d36/Modules/Platform/Darwin.cmake#L265
It might be possible to disable that with
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_IGNORE_PREFIX_PATH.html#variable:CMAKE_IGNORE_PREFIX_PATH
to '/opt/local' or
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_FIND_USE_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH.html#variable:CMAKE_FIND_USE_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH
too 'NO'. E.g., add to jhbuildrc-custom
cmakeargs = "-DCMAKE_IGNORE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/local", but meson also uses
cmake to find stuff and it's not clear from the meson docs whether one can add
the same thing to its cmake_args; I guess that would look like
mesonargs = "-Dcmake_args=-DCMAKE_IGNORE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/local".

gtkosxapplication is what puts the menus on the menu bar instead of on the
window. If you want to build without it you need to hide
$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig/gtk-mac-integration-gtk3.pc.
But that crash hasn't anything to do with gtkosxapplication. I think it's
Try applying
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk-osx/-/blob/master/patches/gtk-3.24.33-quartz-window-transient-for.patch
to your gtk3-24.34 build.
The fix in gtk itself is
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/a2c54c739ed08eac6d360cd3a6ae140e1fab556d
but that does a bunch of other stuff too. I committed it after Mattias
released 3.23.34.
