#7 Compilation on macOS Monterey

[Sai Kumar Ramadugu]

Hello Luscus Team,
I am trying to compile Luscus but I am unable to do it on macOS Monterey (12.2.1). As you stated in the installation instructions that Luscus depends on GTKGLEXT from MacPorts but installing GtkGlExt on macOS Monterey is not working. This is due the fact that GTKGLEXT depends on pangox-compat port and pangox is not working as they developers have moved away from it in their change of pango from 1.42 to 1.48 and 1.50.
Is there a solution to installing Luscus with the above issues?
The relevant issues on Macports are:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/64228
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/13652/commits/134436f6c2e72c49108e20cc63a17b9cb7f3ae27
Thanks for your time.
Best,
Sai

Hi,
For me it looks like a problem with a prerequisite library.
We, as application developers, have a very little impact to the decisions made by maintainers of a library. I see only two possible solutions: find an old Mac and make the installation, or wait. It looks like that there are many changes in the luscus code should be done to remove the dependency on pangocairo.h

My recent tests indicate that this issue has been resolved with macports. Sai, can you check again?
