gtk3 +quartz: missing mesa dependency

[Bachsau (Bachsau)]

Build fails because of a dependency on "gl.pc" which is not present without having mesa installed, but its not a dependency. As macports is not capable of searching for a file in available packages it took me a long time to figure this out.

I'm unable to reproduce your problem based on the information provided. Build works fine for me and I see no reference to gl.pc or mesa in the code or configuration files.

If you can reproduce the problem in a clean build, please attach a copy of the resulting logfile, so we can see more clearly what's going on. In addition, please advise whether you are building with +x11 or +quartz and any other information that may be pertinent to the build.

By "clean build" I mean you should do the following:

sudo port clean glade
sudo port -d build glade

If the build fails, attach the logfile which can be located using the command

port logfile glade

Thanks for your report.

glade depends on gtk3 which, in turn, depends on mesa so mesa should definitely be installed and active when you begin to build glade. If this is not the case, something is wrong with your installation. Let me know what you find.

I'm pretty sure it was not at the time of this bug report or there's something wrong with the package manager. At the time I encountered this problem my MacPorts installation was just about three weeks old and I never forced the uninstall of required packages.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

OK, looks like it is working for you now. Will be updating to glade 3.22.0 later this week when dependencies have been updated for GNOME 3.28. Give it a try and let me know if you see any problems.

Reopening this ticket as I finally was able to reproduce the problem after attempting to build gtk3 +quartz after a fresh MacPorts install.

The problem was not with glade but with gtk3. Due to a required dependency by on libepoxy for both +x11 and +quartz, they both need a dependency on mesa as well.

Sorry for giving up too early on this issue.

In 12d6506e66053e38e9b7069343138e45240d71ad/macports-ports:

gtk3: fix +quartz lib dependencies

gtk3 requires libepoxy for both +x11 and +quartz
which forces a depends_lib requirement for mesa on both.
Previously only the +x11 variant declared the dependency on mesa.

Fixes #55967
