Description
Hello there,
I have an old late 2012 macbook pro with Mavericks installed. I want to keep it as it is. I'd like to install gtk2 on it (for coding purposes) but the install fails. I'm currently stuck on it and I need your help :)
I'm using MacPort 2.7.2 Here is the log provided by the system :
Error: Failed to build glib2: command execution failed Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_devel_glib2/glib2/main.log for details. Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets if you believe there is a bug. Error: Processing of port gtk2 failed
I can provide the generated log if needed.
Thanks in advance,
Yann

I'm seeing the following failure:

Can you provide the output from port installed cctools
?
Also, do you have binutils
installed?
comment:3 follow-up: 5 Changed 2 years ago by yannlr37 (Yann)
Hi,
Thanks for helping me !
It seems like binutils
is not installed.
Here is the output for port installed cctools
:
The following ports are currently installed: cctools @949.0.1_2+llvm37 (active)
Is it related to the C compiler version or C compiling tools ?

BinUtils install failure Log
comment:4 Changed 2 years ago by yannlr37 (Yann)
For information, here is my setup :
Clang :
clang version 1.0.2 (http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/tags/Apple/clang-32 exported) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13
XCode :
Version 6.1 (6A1052c)
Clang version seems to be quite old .

It seems like
binutils
is not installed.
That's good, as you generally don't want that installed anyway.
Here is the output for
port installed cctools
:The following ports are currently installed: cctools @949.0.1_2+llvm37 (active)
That looks correct, for 10.9. So all good there too.
Clang :
clang version 1.0.2 (http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/tags/Apple/clang-32 exported) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13XCode :
Version 6.1 (6A1052c)
Given that you have Xcode 6.1 installed, I'd expect to see a much later version of Clang. For example, on my 10.9 setup, with Xcode 6.2 installed:
$ clang -v Apple LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.57) (based on LLVM 3.5svn) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 Thread model: posix
Can you tell me where your Clang executable is, based on the output from which clang
?
And finally, can you run sudo port diagnose
, and provide the output?

Hello,
I was also surprised to see an old version of clang
. I don't know how to install a newer one.
Here is the ouput for which clang
:
/usr/bin/clang
Here is the output for sudo port diagnose
:
Error: currently installed version of Xcode, none, is not supported by MacPorts. For your currently installed system, only the following versions of Xcode are supported: 6.2 6.1.1 6.1 6.0.1 5.1.1 5.1 5.0.2 5.0.1 Warning: found dylibs in your /usr/local/lib directory. These are known to cause problems. We'd recommend you remove them. Warning: it seems you have Homebrew installed on this system -- Because Homebrew uses /usr/local, this can potentially cause issues with MacPorts. We'd recommend you either uninstall it, or move it from /usr/local for now.
That's strange because I have XCode 6.1 installed .

Update :
I used this command to tell the system which version of xcode to use :
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
The output for sudo port diagnose
changed to :
Warning: found dylibs in your /usr/local/lib directory. These are known to cause problems. We'd recommend you remove them. Warning: it seems you have Homebrew installed on this system -- Because Homebrew uses /usr/local, this can potentially cause issues with MacPorts. We'd recommend you either uninstall it, or move it from /usr/local for now.
I still have clang v 1.0.2 installed. I try to update this version for a newer one. If you have any other idea, it would be much appriciated
comment:8 Changed 2 years ago by yannlr37 (Yann)
After some research, I finally got the right version of Clang.
It was located in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang
Now clang -v
give me :
Apple LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.56) (based on LLVM 3.5svn) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 Thread model: posix
But the problem on installing GTK2 remains.

Can you provide the main.log
from your latest attempt?
comment:11 follow-up: 12 Changed 2 years ago by yannlr37 (Yann)
Hi Christopher,
I don't know what I have done, but all the tests seems to have broken something. My Mac didn't stop bugging, impossible to make it behave correctily. I had to reinstall all the system.
Maybe this topic will help someone else.
Thank you for your time and your useful help.

Replying to yannlr37:

Were you able to successfully install gtk +quartz
afterward?
comment:13 follow-up: 14 Changed 2 years ago by yannlr37 (Yann)
Unfortunately, no :( But I think this is a clang or build tools issue because it worked some months ago.

Previously, it appeared that you have HomeBrew. Is it installed now?

I ask, as that can absolutely cause issues. So if it's installed, I'd strongly recommend uninstalling all HomeBrew packages.

One bit of good news: Originally it was the glib2
install that failed. But on your 2nd attempt, it was gtk2
.
So we are making progress!
comment:17 Changed 2 years ago by mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)
For your subsequent attempt, the following failure occurred:
:info:configure configure: error: in `gtk2/work/gtk+-2.24.33': :info:configure configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables :info:configure See `config.log' for more details
So if that's still occurring, can you attach config.log
?

Final result

Hi,
Finally I found a way out. A hard solution, but it worked :)
You were right, something went wrong with my build tools. I think this was related to a bad xcode install (wrong version of clang, enable to build glib2, then gtk2)
After a fresh install of Mavericks (I had no choice), I tried to re-install gtk2. Here is the steps a followed :
- re-install MacPort (v 2.7.1)
- re-install Xcode (v 6.1.1)
- install Command Line Tools then GTK2 (with Quartz option) :
xcode-select --install sudo port install xorg-server-legacy sudo port install gtk2 +quartz sudo port install gtk-osx-application-gtk2
- I install a theme switcher to give an old Aqua look
sudo port install gtk-theme-switch
And, yes, it works now.
Again, thank you for you time and your help. I hope this will help someone else because it's quite hard to find useful infos about old OS.
