Re: [gtk-osx-users] gtk2 failing to build + no pangoft2

["David Cooke" <djcooke wintree plus com>]

Having amended your earlier advice, I ran the following:


rm -r $PREFIX
rm -r $PREFIX/../.cache
 
jhbuild bootstrap-gtk-osx
jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap icu meta-gtk-osx-freetype
meta-gtk-osx-core

Now, as before, gtk fails to build, failing at gdkaliasdef.c with the
message:

aliases are not supported on darwin

I'd be very glad if you would be kind enough to advise what is the next
thing I should bother to do.


For the record, I have found no modulesets-stable directory on disk.  I
found gtk-osx-bootstrap.modules in $PREFIX/../.cache/jhbuild


Regards,
David Cooke

Please always copy the list.

Had you bothered to look at the harfbuzz module in
modulesets-stable/gtk-osx-bootstrap.modules you'd see that it's because icu
is a soft dependency and that you need to specify it in your modules list.
That's to accommodate building the webkit1 package that requires icu55, an
older version of icu.
