[Gtk-osx-users] unable to build on 10.6.6

[Anthony D. <ad...@gm...>]

Dear GTK+-2 OSX Users,

On a MacBook Pro, Intel Core 2, OS X 10.6.6,

jhbuild bootstrap

fails; the last few lines of the output are

/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -std=gnu99 -I. -I/Users/prog/gtk/inst/include
-I/Developer/\ SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/usr/include

I started out by clearing everything out of the account; then

sh gtk-osx-build-setup.sh

then edited .jhbuildrc-custom and put the following 3 lines at the end:

moduleset = "
http://github.com/jralls/gtk-osx-build/raw/master/modulesets-stable/gtk-osx.modules"

setup_sdk(target="10.4", sdk_version="10.4", architectures=["i386"])
setup_sdk("10.6", "10.6", ["i386"])

(following the two sets of instructions for building on Snow Leopard), then
did

jhbuild boostrap

I tried the same process but without the line

setup_sdk(target="10.4", sdk_version="10.4", architectures=["i386"])

(guessing here about "multiple -arch flags") but got the same result.

I have Python 2.6.1, svn 1.6.5, and git 1.7.3.5 installed, and the developer
tools from Xcode from the install DVD (for
example, i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)

Thanks,

Tony

Interesting, and I'm puzzled. I tested this on ige-mac-integration's src/test-integration and it appears to work as it should. 

Would each of you please do the same?

If you can get it to fail, try debugging to see why it fails.

Hi Olivier,

I have the same problem! Until you mentioned it here I thought that I
had broken something (or that my code was causing problems by constantly
rebuilding the menus). I've been igoring the issue since the menus are
not essential for using my application.

Cheers

Re: [Gtk-osx-users] weird menu problem

[Olivier S. <oli...@gm...>]

I removed the complete gtk directory today, downloaded the latest
gtk-osx-build-setup.sh, etc., so it's all the latest versions.

The menu is not visible at all if I remove the widget_hide(), which
looks weird to me.

When you say "no difference at all", does that mean that the gtk menus are displayed on the window but don't work either? Or that no gtk menus are displayed on the window?

Does the test application (you'll need to change the defines at the top so that IGE_MAC_INTEGRATION is defined and the other two are commented out, then rebuild it) work?

What version of ige-mac-integration do you have? When did you rebuild, and did you start from scratch (i.e, blow everything away, retrieve the latest gtk-osx-build-setup.sh, run that, run jhbuild bootstrap and jhbuild build)?

Re: [Gtk-osx-users] weird menu problem

[Olivier S. <oli...@gm...>]

no difference at all. If I remove the call
ige_mac_menu_set_menu_bar(GTK_MENU_SHELL(bfwin->menubar));
the menu (now a regular gtk menu) works.

the application seems correctly linked:
/Users/olivier/gtk/inst/lib/libigemacintegration.0.dylib
(compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)

If you don't hide the gtk menubar, do the gtk menus work?

[Gtk-osx-users] weird menu problem

[Olivier S. <oli...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I've rebuild my complete gtk environment for osx 10.5/i386 and now I
have a weird problem: the menu's are created but I cannot activate
them (no submenu pops down). I'm still using the ige-mac-integration
library. Any hints where to look for the cause?

Thanks,

Thanks for pointing that out. I've just finished an overhaul of the stable moduleset, and I'll include the patch when I push it. (I need to test everything first.)

[Gtk-osx-users] pygtk 2.22.0 100% cpu bug (solution included)

[Antoine M. <an...@na...>]

Hi,

There's a bug in most recent versions of pygtk which can cause 100% cpu
usage in pygtk apps:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640738

This affects 2.22 which is what gtk-osx uses by default, to fix my
gtk-osx app, I simply added:
branches["pygtk"] = "http://winswitch.org/src/pygtk-2.22.1.tar.bz2"
to my .jhbuildrc-custom
The pygtk version above is just 2.22.0 plus this one patch.
Thought others might be interested.

Also, if anyone needs to package a pygtk application for osx, I have put
my experience/instructions here:
http://winswitch.org/dev/macosx.html
They are very much based on tryton's, which were an excellent starting
point for me. It's not all pretty... but it works reliably!

Cheers
Antoine

Re: [Gtk-osx-users] Custom URL Handler

<snip>

Greetings,

I've tried numerous (hackish) methods to hook a custom URL handler to my pygtk application with no success, so I've come back around to doing it via Cocoa.

I've got a proof-of-concept implementation for gtk_osxapplication which mostly works, though is likely illustrative of my utter lack of Objective-C experience.

With respect to the one issue: I install the handler in an applicationWillFinishLoading method within the GtkApplicationDelegate implementation, though it does not seem to process the URL which may have been used to invoke the application (if it were not previously running).

You can find my fork here:  https://github.com/pheller/ige-mac-integration

Once the source tree is built and installed, try the python bindings like so:

% cd ige-mac-integration/bindings/python/gtk_osxapplication
% python ./setup.py py2app
% open dist/test-integration.app (just once, to register the URL handler with LaunchServices)  then, quit....

Now, try some invocations:

% open gtk-osx://foo  (if the test application isn't running, this will just open the application)
% open gtk-osx://bar  (this should open a MessageDialog)

I hope this is useful for others, and hopefully someone might have an idea why the URL used to launch the app doesn't seem to be processed....

Regards,

  Phil

Hum, I should have mentioned that the same GCompris bundle works fine on
previous release of MacOSX. The issue here is probably because
libxml2.2.dylib is now shipped by MacOSX or has changed and there is an
incompatibility with the one I ship in my bundle. 

By the way, I am not the only one with this error:
http://www.placebeau.nl/article/468/Fixing_OpenFTD_1_2_1_in_MacOSX_10_6_Snow_Leopard.html

I don't expect you to fix my script, I can manage this. What I am
looking at is the direction on how this issue must be managed under the
gtk-osx framework.

Bruno.

The scripts distributed with ige-mac-bundler are *examples*. You're responsible for editing them so that they work with your program. 

That said, it seems unlikely that a library link error (particularly one involving Apple's installed frameworks) could be caused by a script error. You'll have to dig deeper with your user.

Remember that Gtk-OSX is intended for use by developers, not script-kiddies. You're expected to be able to debug and correct problems with your package. Come here for help with specific usage questions, not vague pleas about *your* users not being able to run *your* package.

[Gtk-osx-users] Startup error on MacOSX 10.6.5 due to libxml2.2

[Bruno C. <bru...@gc...>]

Hi,

I am distributing GCompris packaged using gtk-osx. I have been reported
a problem on users of MacOSX 10.6.5. GCompris fails to start and report
this error:

$ ./Desktop/GCompris.app/Contents/MacOS/GCompris
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libxml2.2.dylib
  Referenced
from: /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/AppKit
  Reason: Incompatible library version: AppKit requires version 10.0.0
or later, but libxml2.2.dylib provides version 9.0.0
Trace/BPT trap

The mentioned GCompris here is based on the shell script 'launcher.sh'.
I have been reported that running the gcompris-bin directly instead of
the shell script run fines.

I tried to upgrade the script to the latest version of ige-mac-bundler
but it did not fixed the problem.

Any help appriciated,

Bruno.

OK, now it checks every command. I also changed the download link in the wiki so that it gets the latest version from Github instead of the (often obsolete because I forget to upload new versions) one from sourceforge.

[Gtk-osx-users] Announcements

[John R. <jr...@ce...>]

1. I've added two new patches (one is a replacement) to gtk+ in modulesets-stable. These fix a couple of crashers noted in Gnucash and Gramps: One is a premature release of autopools (previously fixed with an emergency hack, now fixed the "approved" way). The other involves race conditions in the quartz drag-and-drop behavior. It's still partly in "hack" mode, so there will be a different change later, and only the non-hack parts are pushed to the quartz branches.

2. Yes, that's right, branches. I've added a gtk-2-24-quartz branch to git.gnome.org/gtk+ which tracks the 2-24 branch for everyone who's still using Gtk2 (which is probably almost everyone). This has revisions of all of the patches and serves, like quartz-integration, as a way to keep up with the latest fixes. 

3. Modulesets/gtk-osx.modules gtk+ module and modulesets-unstable/gtk-osx.modules gtk+ module have been updated to point to work with gtk-2-24-quartz.

4. Both gtk-2-24-quartz and quartz-integration are set up for a nightly merge with their respective tracking branches (gtk-2-24 and master, respectively), build, and push (if everything else works out OK). That means that you'll always have a recently updated and known-to-build (at least on a MacPro with XCode 3.2 and the 10.5 SDK) repo to work with.

5. Happy New Year!

Regards,
John Ralls

	Never mind about this part, it's already done.  I actually changed the URL to the page for only OSX, though they are on a different domain.

	I just went to install GTK-OSX on another machine and ended up chasing my tail quite a bit due to some unexpected problems.  It turns out that the link to git given in the wiki for the build prerequisites is Intel only, and out of date to boot.  I'd like to make some suggestions:

* In the wiki, the URL of the source for git should be changed from http://metastatic.org/source/git-osx.html to http://git-scm.com.  I can take care of this myself, but right now i'm waiting for SourceForge to reset my password, and i also have to pack for tomorrow's flight.

As I wrote in the documentation, "shortcuts" are handled the Gtk way: Accelerator maps for menus and Bindings for everything else.

Since you meet the mental prerequisites of being an experienced Gtk developer, I don't need to tell you any more.  Right?

If that's not the case, don't worry: Both are well covered in the Gtk documentation.

[Gtk-osx-users] ige-mac-integration - keyboard shortcut modifiers

[MaSch <ma...@go...>]

Hello folks,

firstly I want to thank everyone involved for providing
ige-mac-integration. It boosts usability a lot for the users.

I'm currently integrating ige-mac-integration to an gtk+ osx port (C).
I'm using gtkosxapplication instead of the old stuff ... I get the
menubar and my notifications set-up - all fine,
but I noticed that IF I use the old "ige_mac_menu_set_menu_bar"
function, all my shortcuts get automatically mapped from Ctrl+a to Cmd+a
and so on.
Now like mentioned before I don't want to use the old API, so I try to
use gtk_osxapplication_set_menu_bar which does not map the key modifiers
automatically, but otherwise works fine too.

Can I achieve the old maping behaviour with the new API somehow ? Or do
I have to set the shortcuts manually, if so how do I do that ?

Regards Marco

Hi Lee, 

As far as I know no such setup currently exists. Yours is basically a good idea, though. Ultimately, it would be very nice to have an installable GTK-OSX framework, say, which other applications could be built against and then distributed as an end-user package. 

As a resut, gtk-osx is somewhat like a kitset car at present which you need to know enough to be able to assemble yourself. That, of course, is not to make your life difficult but just a reflection of the fact that although technology may sometimes appear to be magical that does not in fact mean that it was created my magical means. Making it work effortlessly always requires large amounts of hard and dedicated effort by someone, which in this case is a small bunch of volunteers, and every project must walk before it can run. 


regards, 
Richard.

Indeed. This project is an extension of Gtk for (e.g.) the inkscape developers to prepare a bundle to distribute their package to OSX users. You may have the necessary tools assembled, but you don't have the training or experience, and a fair amount of both is needed. You can either spend a few years learning, or you can go bug the inkscape folks to do it.

Good luck.
