Re: [gtk-osx-devel] Jhbuild bootstrap failed on Leopard 10.5.8

Thank you very much, John.

I just ran meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap again and it worked, I also saw that the libpng file wasn't completed during the previous download.

Now I have another problem, and googling up I saw a mailing list of 16 January (maybe last year?) where you replied a user with the same problem.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a solution...

The problem is when I run:
jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-themes
I get this error:
*** Checking out icon-naming-utils *** [2/7]
bunzip2 -dc "/Users/francesco/gtk/source/pkgs/icon-naming-utils-0.8.90.tar.bz2" | tar xf -
bunzip2: /Users/francesco/gtk/source/pkgs/icon-naming-utils-0.8.90.tar.bz2 is not a bzip2 file.
*** Error during phase checkout of icon-naming-utils: could not unpack tarball (expected icon-naming-utils-0.8.90 dir) *** [2/7]

I even edited the file gtk-osx-themes.module changing 'tar.bz2' to 'tar.gz', but it keeps searching for the bz2 and cannot unpack it...

That makes me upset, because I can unpack it through the GUI, so why can't bunzip2 unpack it?

This is what I did:
1) jhbuild bootstrap 
2) jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap
3) jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-core

I'm at the step 3: 
$ jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-core
and it gives this error building cairo. 

Sorry, how do I 'add that prefix to my bundle'? (It's my first time compiling something Unix-like... and I don't know much about this basic things)
So what do you advise me to do? Should I make it search on Developers, or install some libpng?

As I said, meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap is supposed to build libpng as the first module, so have a look in /Users/francesco/gtk/src and make sure that libpng-1.4.8 is there, then look at /Users/francesco/gtk/inst/lib/pkgconfig/ and make sure that libpng.pc and libpng14.pc are there. If they aren't, then something went wrong with building meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap, so build it again and look at the output (libpng is the first module) and see if it says anything about not building libpng.

No, I don't think you should make it search /Developer, nor should you need to install libpng separately from meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap.

As a general observation, building gtk-osx is a bit ambitious for a first Unix experience... kind of like trying to fly without taking lessons first.
