Still TODO:


Fri, 06 Dec 2019 18:41:10 GMT - Antoine Martin: status changed

Updates (too many to list - important ones only):

Remaining problems:

others fail to detect the "os_level" - I've hardcoded it in the build file to move on.

Needed to make python3 a symlink:

cd $JHBUILD_PREFIX/bin
ln -sf python3 python
ln -sf python3-config python-config

Rebuilt from scratch - building python3 early so we don't use the system one, doing libwebp early to avoid errors building libtiff 4.1:

jhbuild bootstrap-gtk-osx
jhbuild buildone -f openssl
jhbuild buildone -f python3
jhbuild buildone -f libwebp
jhbuild meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap meta-gtk-osx-gtk3

gobject-introspection builds against the wrong python3 and uses the system one! Use:

PYTHON=$JHBUILD_PREFIX/bin/python3 jhbuild buildone -f gobject-introspection

Hit issues building pango:

Despite a newer version of scons, we have to temporarily switch the symlinks to python2 to build serf...

There's a circular dependency between libtiff and libwebp..

Works well enough.
