openvrml 0.18.6_1 Building fails with +player variant (some Gnomeui problems)

[opelfahrer79@…]

I called

port install openvrml +player

to also get a player executable - however, building fails:

I got a little further now. The problem relates to the use of deprecated defines that are explicitly disabled by the

-DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED

define in

src/Makefile

both, for openvrml_player_openvrml_player_CPPFLAGS and openvrml_xembed_openvrml_xembed_CPPFLAGS; I removed the flags (although that might not be such a good idea), and then it builds and installs. However, still no luck in running the app. The X11 server starts up, but that's it:

Did you enable the dbus startup items? This can be done with

sudo launchctl load -w /opt/local/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /opt/local/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

Well, I didn't do that yet. I had to run it as user rather than superuser (running as su didn't solve the problem, running as user did). However, now I end up here:

MacBook-Pro:~ jack$ openvrml-player Downloads/nft3.ibr.upvec.regist.vrml

I fixed the build problem by applying an ​upstream patch in r77484.

I cannot reproduce this here. Does openvrml-player start without any command line arguments? Can you start /opt/local/libexec/openvrml-xembed manually? Maybe, you should ask for help on the ​openvrml-develop mailing list.

[opelfahrer79@…]

The openvrml-player does not start right from the command line without running xembed in a separate shell first. If I run the xembed manually followed by the player executable, it works out... I'm recompiling the port to get everything set up correctly, and I'll ping you if the problem remains or magically disappears... thx so far...

Ok, after reinstalling and rebooting, the application starts when called from the command line. It turns out though that the app doesn't display anything. I can open the file browser and select a wrl file, but that's it. There is no display and no error message...

I see the same behavior, here. Older versions of OpenVRML and/or older versions of its dependencies did not have this problem. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to fix this bug. Please ask for help on the ​openvrml-develop mailing list.

After updating openvrml to version 0.18.7 in r77981 openvrml-player works for me again.
