Having trouble upgrading gtk3 on Mavericks. The upgrade quits at the build stage. Log file included.

What versions of Xcode, command line tools, and clang do you have installed?

Looks similar to #54518.

I just worked through this on 10.8. It only happens with the +quartz build. I don't have patches as yet, but here's what I did to build it.

fixing gtk3 +quartz:

in work/gtk+-3.22.17/gtk:

in gtkfilefilterprivate.h
and in gtkfilefilter.c

Change
NSArray<NSString *> *
-to- NSArray *

============
in work/gtk+-3.22.17/gtk

in  gtkfilechoosernativequartz.c

Make the following replacements:

NSMutableArray<NSArray<NSString *> *> *
-to- NSMutableArray *

NSMutableArray<NSString *> *
-to- NSMutableArray *

NSArray<NSString *> *
-to- NSArray *

NSMutableArray<NSArray *>
-to- NSMutableArray

NSMutableArray<NSString *>
-to- NSMutableArray

See <​https://github.com/GNOME/gtk/commits/master/gtk/gtkfilechoosernativequartz.c>

It's a new enhancement; perhaps upstream would agree to #ifdef some minor changes in to support older sdks. Otherwise, the changes I made took about 10 minutes to do, so it's an easy patch once I or someone gets around to it.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for moving this one forward. Your list of replacements is good, but can't be treated as an exact substitution because line 465 looks like this:

     data->filters = [NSMutableArray<NSArray<NSString *> *> arrayWithCapacity:n_filters];

We have to change that to:

     data->filters = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:n_filters];

Don't forget that a helpful patch has been made already to ease the pain :)

As reported in #54518, that patch works now with gtk3 @3.22.19_0+quartz.

Cool! Thanks!
