I am on Ubuntu, not OSX. An _old_ ubuntu, at that, with lots of old packages. Not wanting to be snotty, but I get the impression you're out of your depth here. Why not just install a Linux distro (Ubuntu or otherwise) that has an up-to-date GTK stack? I'm afraid you're going to wear out your welcome here with How can I unbreak my system that has a horrid mess-up of old and new GLib/GTK? This is not really a gtk-app-devel question. fair enough, with respect to unbreaking. But I wasn't asking Gabriele Greco to help me do that. He sounded like he had no idea about what's been happening here, so I elaborated a bit, highlighting what's critical (I couldn't possibly see how a single utility — the John Rails script he mentioned — could be useful for both OSX and an old Ubuntu! Fortunately, someone explained why he thought I was on OSX). I don't expect to pass on the extra burden/challenge to this list. Someone here gave me the courtesy of just cluing me in, that I was trashing my system by upgrading my glib and related packages. It's all new to me... the notion that I might already be working on a non-bootable machine... and I have been depending on it for YEARS... Apologies if I took a few line to express my alarm here... But are we certain at this point that my latest compile failure is caused by an old package(s)? It's conceivable that it's something in between? A bug that can emerge only in such an old environment ? As in, SOME code is MEANT to be backwards-compatible (to some degree), but a bug therein might not be readily seen, until someone with an old environment comes a long ? (me) In a case like that my feedback could be legit and untainted by my rip-van-winkle situation. And, after all... my ./configure is happy! It should, theoretically, spot and complain about incompatibilities ? Specifically, I think my breakage happens in the ./gtk/Makefile subdirectory of the source root. It's rather bewildering that the make interpreter can't print out more specifics about the breakage... there are line numbers mentioned at the end of the error message but I don't think that's where the /bin/sh: --: invalid option error occurs. Even though this is out of my depth, I would guess that somewhere an option is being passed with an intended string variable that is empty in my case (but isn't empty in newer environments), and thus a solitary double dash ?

Maybe I've finally reached its limits, as one, well-lubricated, integrated whole. If I'm causing library confusion, there's no telling. Perhaps I need to learn how to build proper debian packages, so I can add them to this system with all the proper triggers and cross-linking in play. I /do/ remember building gtk+ many years ago, on fedora ... it feels like I'm going back in time right now :-)) ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
final gtk+maverick battles
thought I'd move out to a new thread, since we are past the Pango issue in reckless abandonment (sliding irrevocably down the slope of system trashing) I manually moved *glib* files and directories from under /usr/local/lib, to a hiding place, then quickly re-installed (make install) glib from git. my git gtk+ continued to give me the nasty 2.39.4 vs. 2.39.5 discrepancy error. Then I ./autogen.sh'ed it again... and, lo and behold, the ./autogen.sh cleared its misunderstanding of what my glib version was (this, in conjunction with the above deletions, in /usr/local/lib, I presume) So, my gtk+ git finally ./configure'd. But then, of course, it had to snag with this: http://www.flight.us//misc/gtk_compile_error1.txt thanks again!! ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
Can't link to Pango
I am trying to compile gtk+-3.11.5 during ./configure I am getting: Can't link to Pango. Pango is required to build *** GTK+. For more information see http://www.pango.org I have pango-1.36.2 installed pkg-config --cflags pango pangocairo : -pthread -I/usr/local/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/include/cairo -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include/libpng12 -I/usr/local/include/harfbuzz -I/usr/include/pixman-1 --- frustrating to no end.

I just tried... export PKG_CONFIG_DISABLE_UNINSTALLED=1 and export PKG_CONFIG_DISABLE_UNINSTALLED=true but ./configure still halts with the same can't link to Pango message. Here is my config.log : http://www.flight.us/misc/gtk_config.log.txt thanks.
