Rebuilding Harfbuzz isn't going to get rid of Freetype's dependency on brotli.
Harfbuz doesn't know anything about broil.
Agreed. Adding the cmakeargs of "-DFT_DISABLE_BROTLI=YES" appeared to get rid
of Freetype's dependency on brotli, _for the purpose of compiling freetype-no-harfbuzz_.
I am moving on to the next problem, which is that harfbuzz-no-cairo fails to
build, despite the successful fix which enabled Freetype to build in a way
acceptable freetype-no-harfbuzz. And the symptoms of the next problem are
interestingly similar to the symptoms of the previous problem.
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
pkg-config error with 'freetype2': Could not generate cargs for freetype2:
Package libbrotlidec was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libbrotlidec.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libbrotlidec', required by 'freetype2', not found
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.
I read that sentence and took it to heart. You will see a mention of
/Users/gtkdeveloper in my logs. gtkdeveloper is a macOS user account I created
specifically to build GnuCash. It does not have any of my primary account's
path or environment changes. I have not told it about MacPorts.
As far I as know, MacPorts installs many files to /opt/local/*, and acts like
it owns that directory subtree. It installs apps to /Applications/MacPorts .
Users are responsible for adding /opt/local/bin to their own paths. As far as I
know from monitoring the project's user and developer lists, MacPorts tries to
avoid installing anything anywhere else.
If there is software on macOS which consults /opt/local/*, then IMHO it should
be aware it might well find MacPorts-installed software there. If it doesn't
want to be contaminated by MacPorts, it should have a way to refrain from
consulting /opt/local/* .
Of course, the difference of opinion between cmake and pkg-config might not
stem from consulting /opt/local/* .
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".
Yes, I have seen this report. It might be worse: I tried building gnucash 4.11 via
the MacPorts `gnucash` port, and a) there is an unexpected interaction with
gtkosxapplication.h, and b) after hiding gtkosxapplication.h, the resulting GnuCash
application crashes after setting up a new book. I wasn't going to start the thread
here about those issues until I had got as far as I could with building GnuCash the
GnuCash way. But there is more on these MacPorts problems at
<https://trac.macports.org/ticket/66119>.
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.
Thank you for this helpful information, John.
I have not had a chance to try it out yet, but I will later this week. I
will reply with what I find out.
