The build log includes errors like this:

I experienced the same error. I am also on Yosemite with Xcode 7.2.1, and using +quartz (but not universal).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Looks similar to #54542.

[kencu (Ken)]

See 51116 for a similar error with type arguments cannot be applied to non-parameterized class and a fix. In that port, to resolve this issue, the call was changed in this fashion:

NSArray<NSString *> * 

changed to simply

NSArray *

See 54542#comment:2 where I list the changes I needed to make this build.

[jjstickel (Jonathan Stickel)]

builds, but runtime errors

[jjstickel (Jonathan Stickel)]

Replying to kencu:

See 54542#comment:2 where I list the changes I needed to make this build.

Following those suggestions, I created a patch (see attached); gtk3 +quartz then builds OK, but I get this run-time error:

$ gtk3-demo

(gtk3-demo:39695): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not load a pixbuf from /org/gtk/libgtk/icons/16x16/status/image-missing.png.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.
**
Gtk:ERROR:gtkiconhelper.c:493:ensure_surface_for_gicon: assertion failed: (destination)
Abort trap: 6

[kencu (Ken)]

Hmm. I didn't get any errors like that on 10.8, running webkit2-gtk with the MiniBrowser, but I didn't try the gtk3 demos.

Looks like a missing icon? Wonder why is it trying to load something from /org/gtk/...

Doesn't look too hard to debug, I hope. It may have nothing to do with the SDK issue we fixed, in fact; could be something completely different.

[jjstickel (Jonathan Stickel)]

The error is not the warning about a missing icon (I think I used to see that before), but the one about gtkiconhelper.c (I guess also icon related, but probably not just due to a missing file).

[kencu (Ken)]

I wonder if the missing icon makes the assertion fail...assuming that indeed there is a missing icon, and not something else causing this. Looks like Google time ...

[kencu (Ken)]

For one: <​https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/16490>, and another <​https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blueman/+bug/1037216>. Yet another: <​https://redmine.darktable.org/issues/11049>.

This looks like a different error than what your patch fixed to me, but we'll see in time, I guess.

I don't have any idea how to change or update icon themes on gtk3 in MacPorts...

[jjstickel (Jonathan Stickel)]

OK, you may be right, that the missing icon file (or wrong target path) is causing the error. Not sure how to proceed with debugging that. Although maybe separate from this ticket, if we get that part resolved, we will know the patch is OK.

[kencu (Ken)]

I poked around and I have this:

/opt/local/share/icons/Adwaita/16x16/status/image-missing.png

provided by adwaita-icon-theme.

Do you have that installed?

[jjstickel (Jonathan Stickel)]

After installing adwaita-icon-theme:

$ gtk3-demo

(gtk3-demo:27161): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.
**
Gtk:ERROR:gtkiconhelper.c:493:ensure_surface_for_gicon: assertion failed: (destination)
Abort trap: 6

[jjstickel (Jonathan Stickel)]

OK, it seems that the "gtkiconhelper.c" error I was receiving was not related. Applying my patch (gtk3_NSArray.patch, attached) to the latest gtk3 (3.22.19) seems to result in a working install of gtk3 +quartz; at least I can run gtk3-demo now. A patch to the Portfile is also attached.

[jjstickel (Jonathan Stickel)]

The patch I provided a few weeks ago has been implemented upstream. gtk3 is now several versions later than 3.22.17. I think this ticket can be closed. Also, ticket #54542 is a duplicate.
