gobject-introspection fails to configure on macOS 14.2

[jbaraban]

gobjection-introspection fails to configure - the final error (in the attached logs) appears to be:

Run-time dependency glib-2.0 found: NO (tried pkgconfig, framework and cmake)

[jbaraban]

meson log

The attachment main.log.tgz doesn't appear to be valid. Can you attach another copy, uncompressed?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The meson log shows the problem is:

Dependency glib-2.0 found: NO found 2.72.3 but need: '>=2.78.0'

What's the output of:

port -v installed name:^glib2

[jbaraban]

No, it's over the file size limit (which is why I compressed it).

Replying to mascguy:

$ port -v installed name:^glib2
The following ports are currently installed:
  glib2 @2.72.3_2 requested_variants='' platform='darwin 23' archs='arm64' date='2023-12-15T01:12:52+0200'
  glib2 @2.72.3_2+universal (active) requested_variants='+universal' platform='darwin 23' archs='arm64 x86_64' date='2023-12-15T01:13:56+0200'

There appears to be a glib 2.78 port, but I can't get it to install for some reason:

$ port list glib2
glib2                          @2.72.3         devel/glib2
glib2                          @2.78.0         devel/glib2
$ sudo port install glib2 @2.78.0
Error: glib2 version 2.78.0 is not available (current version is 2.72.3_2)

Do you have nonstandard sources in your sources.conf file? Perhaps one which has glib 2.72.3? Perhaps listed before our standard source which has 2.78.0?

[jbaraban]

Thanks, that was it. Changing that causes problems with building arm64 x86_64 versions of gstreamer for wine, which I think is why I had the nonstandard glib, but especially given that wine seems to still work, that's a problem for another day.

For wine, IMHO just download the prebuilt version from Dean, all as up to date as possible and working great on arm64:

Ok, so there's no MacPorts bug here.
