gtk+-2.22.1 configure failure: No package 'glib-2.0' found

Hello!

The configure stage fails here:

The command 'port installed' lists:

  glib1 @1.2.10_6 (active)
  glib2 @2.26.0_0
  glib2 @2.26.0_1
  glib2 @2.26.1_0

Missing dependency because glib2 with, hopefully, glib-2.0.pc file is not installed?

[ryandesign@…]

Activate glib2.

sudo port activate glib2 @2.26.1_0

I can't explain why MacPorts did not do so for you automatically, since glib2 is definitely in gtk2's dependency chain (via pango, and atk, and others).

[Peter_Dyballa@…]

I remember now: activation failed some time before and MacPorts updated the glib2 package once or twice:

--->  Activating glib2 @2.26.1_0
Error: port activate failed: Image error: /opt/local/share/gtk-doc/html/gio/gsettings.html already exists and does not belong to a registered port.  Unable to activate port glib2. Use 'port -f activate glib2' to force the activation.

[ryandesign@…]

I cannot explain why you have this file on your system but it does not belong to a port, so you should force the activation.

sudo port -f activate glib2 @2.26.1_0

They at least belong to glib versions 2.26:

I'll remove the superfluous files manually.

[ryandesign@…]

Yes, certainly, the files are part of the glib2 package, and on a properly-working system, should be registered to the glib2 port. On your system, the files were installed, but not registered to glib2 or any other port, and I don't know how that happened.

[JensErikWeber@…]

Cc Me!

[JensErikWeber@…]

I have have more or less the same problem, and I think it's a strange way to solve this bug by declaring it "invalid".

I haven't looked into the output in detail, but is it possible that the dependencies are wrong and gtk2 should depend on glib2 instead of glib-2.0, because there is indeed no MacPorts package named glib-2.0? I only took a look at the dependencies of gtk2. As the dependency on glib-2.0 is indirect, I haven't found it there.

What is different on my system is that glib2 2.26.1_0 has been compiled, installed and activated with “sudo port -vu upgrade outdated”

[jmr@…]

The dependencies are not wrong.

% port provides /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc 
/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc is provided by: glib2

Are you using -p or something? Otherwise port should exit when it fails to activate glib2.

[JensErikWeber@…]

Me? I’ve never used -p, just port -vu upgrade outdated. port only exited when it tried to compile the new version of gtk2, but apparently not while upgrading glib2. I only got an error (“No package 'glib-2.0' found” when port is trying to upgrade gtk2.

I got

$ port provides /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc does not exist.

In Porticus it looked like glib2 was activated (“Aktiv: 2.26.1_0”), but in fact it wasn't:

$ port installed glib2 gtk2
The following ports are currently installed:
  glib2 @2.26.1_0
  gtk2 @2.22.0_0+x11 (active)

When I tried to activate it in Porticus, I got this error:

Port command started with PID 689
Activating glib2 @2.26.1_0
Error: port activate failed: Image error: /opt/local/share/gtk-doc/html/gio/gsettings.html 
already exists and does not belong to a registered port.  Unable to activate port glib2.
Use 'port -f activate glib2' to force the activation.
Executing: /opt/local/bin/port -v activate glib2@2.26.1_0

So I forced activation:

$ sudo port -f activate glib2

Warning: File /opt/local/share/gtk-doc/html/gio/gsettings.html already exists.

Macintosh:~ jens$ port installed glib2
The following ports are currently installed:
  glib2 @2.26.1_0 (active)

Afterwards the new version of gtk2 was building without any problems. Nevertheless there is something wrong in the upgrade process, something that was not caused by me.

I use Leopard PPC.

[ryandesign@…]

See also #28192 where Peter reported this problem again.

[ryandesign@…]

Jens, are you using a case-sensitive filesystem? We know from #28192 that Peter is, and I'm supposing that this relates to the problem somehow.

[Peter_Dyballa@…]

Meanwhile gtk2 2.24.10_0+x11 is built, installed, and active. (And glib 2.32.1_0.)

[ryandesign@…]

Then I guess we'll assume this got fixed somewhere along the way.

[JensErikWeber@…]

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Jens, are you using a case-sensitive filesystem?

Yes, I used case-sensitive HFS+. Sorry for not answering before, I must have overseen your message 15 months ago. Anyway, it has been working in the meantime, though just recently I got an error with upgrading glib2 again. a header file seemed to be missing though it was there. I uninstalled the old version and installed the new version, then it worked.
