Gnuradio configure and build failure on OSX 10.14.6

[pa3axa]

Hi,

the problems i have are exactly the same as mentioned in the now closed tickets #61934, #61995. I tried al the suggestions but nothing worked.

The OSX is a clean installed OSX Mojave 10.14.6 and a fresh Macport with the only port to install gnuradio.

% grep "shared-library" $(port contents atk | grep "\.gir")
             shared-library="libatk-1.0.0.dylib"

I even edited the file to reflect the installed path, then clean gnuradio and install both the configure failure remains.

sudo port -sn upgrade --force gobject-introspection gdk-pixbuf2 atk fails confifure on "gobject-introspection"

Installed Xcode Version 11.3.1 (11C505).

Just as a matter of interest I tried to install gnuradio37, this fails during build.

You are an ham, Welcome :)

Can you paste the gobject-introspection's error log?

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Can you try this:

sudo port clean gobject-introspection
sudo port -sn upgrade --force gobject-introspection

and if that fails, attach the build log here. If it succeeds, then do:

sudo port clean gdk-pixbuf2 atk
sudo port -sn upgrade --force gdk-pixbuf2 atk

and if either of those fail then attach that build log here. Now if that succeeds, do:

sudo port clean gnuradio37
sudo port install gnuradio37

... worth a try!

Yes Hamradio is one of my interest and PA3AXA is my call sign.

Yesterday I restarted this again, clean install OSX 10.14.4,
updated to 10.14.6 and Xcode 10.3.1. First had to fix the
OSX 10.14 SDK with the suggestions done in #59837

Then sudo port install gnuradio this failed during
configure on the atk library

:info:configure --   Dependency GTK_GI_FOUND = FALSE

Then I followed the above suggestions.

Clean and Reinstall gobject-introspection forced

MacPro:~ macpro$ sudo port -sn upgrade --force gobject-introspection
--->  Computing dependencies for gobject-introspection

That worked, then

sudo port clean gdk-pixbuf2 atk
sudo port -sn upgrade --force gdk-pixbuf2 atk

That finished without any error.

Next

 macpro$ sudo port clean gnuradio
--->  Cleaning gnuradio
MacPro:~ macpro$ sudo port install gnuradio
--->  Computing dependencies for gnuradio

That finishes without errors but during the building a message about installing the JAVA SDK popup, and agreed.

Put it all to the test gnuradio-companion won't start

Remove gnuradio and installed gnuradio37 error remains
but now refers to Python 2.7.

MacPro:~ macpro$ gnuradio-companion

    import gtk

    warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)
gtk.GtkWarning: could not open display

So all in all, we managed to fix the configuration error, building is fine but now we another GTK related issue

[pa3axa]

I managed to fix this by setting the locale to ENG-US in Mac preference, reboot
then set to my originals settings ENG-NL en reboot.

GNU Radio Companion 3.7.14.0 is now starting up and present the normal GUI.

Will try this tomorrow on my MacBookPro and Mojave see if will get this running to.

Thanks for all your suggestions

[pa3axa]

Just to make it complete change the port to gnuradio
It has this warning but the GUI starts normally, did not made any
other tests but this is promising.

[pa3axa]

Tested on a MacBookPro following the steps below will install GNU Radio 37
without any config and building errors that prevent the completion of the instal
l

sudo port install gnuradio37

Below the complete list of commands used to get GNUradio installed

Steps for Macport on Mojave
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--> Install Mojave by Mac Installer
--> Software Update to latest version 10.14.6
--> Install Java JRE & SDK
--> Install Xcode 13.1
--> Install Xcode CMD tools

--> Test if the CMD tools can be found
 
	xcrun --sdk macosx10.14 --show-sdk-path -v


--> If not Fix 10.14SDK following Macport #59837

	Check 10.14.sdk is installed.
 
	ls -l /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk

	Create a symlink for the Xcode Application

	$ cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs
	$ ls -l
	total 0
	drwxr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  128 Jan 14 07:14 DriverKit19.0.sdk
	drwxr-xr-x  8 root  wheel  256 Jan 14 07:14 MacOSX.sdk
	lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   10 Nov 18 16:10 MacOSX10.15.sdk -> MacOSX.sdk

	$ sudo ln -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk
	$ ls -l
	total 0
	drwxr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  128 Jan 14 07:14 DriverKit19.0.sdk
	drwxr-xr-x  8 root  wheel  256 Jan 14 07:14 MacOSX.sdk
	lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   56 May 10 12:53 MacOSX10.14.sdk -> /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk
	lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   10 Nov 18 16:10 MacOSX10.15.sdk -> MacOSX.sdk
	
	Test again
	
	xcrun --sdk macosx10.14 --show-sdk-path -v


--> Install Macport
--> Macport selfupdate
--> sudo port install gnuradio
--> Installed, no fatal errors
--> Startup failed on  "fallback 'C' locale." error fix by setting to US reboot.
--> Reset my prefered setting ENG-NL.
--> Gnuradio GUI launching

Maybe not the right place but a new ticket seems not the right thing either.
gr37-osmosdr fails on bladeRF due to missing help2man, installing this fixes that.

:info:configure CMake Error at host/utilities/bladeRF-cli/CMakeLists.txt:330 (message):
:info:configure   Could not find help2man.  bladeRF-cli man page cannot be built.

jmr fixed this in [b32187351d40c39c3c6e6a648fcecb3fbff98c9e/macports-ports]. In the future, please file new tickets for new unrelated errors.
