beekeep OSX build

GTK is a little painful to setup. using some kind of build system is pretty much mandatory. i tried two, jhbuild (python-based, recommended by the GTK group) and homebrew (based on ruby scripts, and a more generally useful package manager.) both produced the same imprefect results (some broken pixbuf links); i recommend homebrew since it's less finicky and more generally useful as a package manager for other things.

using jhbuild

in theory, you should be able to just follow the instructions here for gtk3:

https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show//Projects/GTK+/OSX/Building

in practice, i needed to tweak the steps a little on 10.7. YMMV.

  • download and run: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk-osx/plain/gtk-osx-build-setup.sh

  • add to your PATH (and .bash_profile_)

    `PATH=$PATH/.local/bin``

  • alias jhbuild with the correct prefic for gtk binaries:

    alias jhbuild="PATH=/Users/[username]/gtk/inst/bin:$PATH jhbuild"

  • run jhbuild modules in this rather specific order: jhbuild build python

    jhbuild build libpng

    jhbuild build gobject-introspection

    jhbuild update meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap

    jhbuild update meta-gtk-osx-gtk3

  • finally, you must for some reason add some pkgconfig locations manually: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig/

    and also, possibly:

    PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/Users/[username]/gtk/inst/lib/pkgconfig/

using homebrew

install homebrew

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

install xquartz: http://xquartz.macosforge.org
fix permissions

sudo chown -R $USER:admin /usr/local

sudo chown -R $USER:admin $(brew --cache)

install packages

brew install ccache d-bus fontconfig freetype gettext glib gmp icu4c libffi libpng libtasn1 libtiff pkg-config xz hicolor-icon-theme gsettings-desktop-schemas gnutls atk pixman

(not sure this is necessary)

brew link --overwrite gsettings-desktop-schemas

install gtk and dependencies

brew install --build-from-source at-spi2-core at-spi2-atk cairo harfbuzz pango gtk+3 gtk+ librsvg gnome-icon-theme --without-x --without-x11 --with-gtk+3

building

at this point, regardless of the build system you used, beekeep should now compile and run:

cd aleph/utils/beekeep

make

./beekeep

however, i get missing images for spinbox and popup menu widgets. more help troubleshooting this is appreciated.
