Symbol not found: _PyBool_Type

[lakenen]

I get the following when I run fontforge on the command line (installed from source @ master):

dyld: Symbol not found: _PyBool_Type
  Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/libfontforge.2.dylib
  Expected in: flat namespace

On OS X 10.9.5, configured with this command to work with homebrew:

PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.19.4/bin/:${PATH}" \
  CFLAGS="-I./libltdl" \
  LIBPNG_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/lib" \

  ./configure --with-pythonbinary=/usr/local/bin/python

For what it's worth, the python bindings work. I just get that error when I run fontforge on the command line.

@lakenen how did you build it? I tried on a clean install with homebrew and its ok... both with last release and head. I just brew install fontforge --with-x11 --HEAD

[lakenen]

I built from source with the configure command above, then make

[davelab6]

no homebrew?

[lakenen]

It works fine from homebrew. The issue is with installing from source.

[davelab6]

I'm curious! Why would you do that? :) If it works in Homebrew, why not just use Homebrew?

[lakenen]

I'm developing against fontforge with the python bindings, and I occasionally run into bugs like this: #2086 :)

[davelab6]

Okay :) I don't understand the aversion to homebrew in this case though :)

[lakenen]

Reason being I can apply the patch locally even if it's not merged.

[davelab6]

apply patch to your fork of ff and update the recipe tobpoibt head to you repo?

It's possible to have Homebrew build something that isn't in the main Homebrew tree. I will follow up when I'm back at the office on Monday.

[lakenen]

FWIW, I'd prefer to be able to build from source without homebrew. Is there something wrong with the way I've configured the build?

[jtanx]

I use a variant of

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/opt/libffi/lib/pkgconfig  ./configure --enable-gdk=gdk3

Which works for me.

Travis also builds using homebrew - https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/blob/master/.travis.yml

Reopen if you're still having this issue.
