gtk2 +quartz -x11: error when building with Xcode12 Beta 3: implicit declaration of function 'gdk_quartz_pasteboard_type_to_atom_libgtk_only' is invalid in C99

[chicagotripp (Altoine Barker)]

gtk2 is able to build with

gtk

gtk +quartz /(it will automatically append +x11) 

but not

gtk +quartz -x11 

or

gtk -x11 

Is gtk2 able to be built with the -x11 variant? I see that it is set by default to include the +x11 variant. I'm running Catalina 10.15.6 (Beta) Build 19G73, XCode 12 Beta 3, Macports 2.6.3. I'm running a fresh install. The only ports installed before attempting gtk2 is nano and xorg-server. I did not install XQuartz. Here is my error output:

I hope this helps fix the problem. I'm ultimately trying to install gimp2 +quartz but I keep getting packages install +x11 variants and the gimp2 +quartz fail because of conflicts with some ports needing to install +quartz variant without +x11 variant.

gtk2 +quartz -x11 build failure

[kencu (Ken)]

Other people seem to have this working. I use the +x11 variant myself.

I'm not sure how many ports you have installed, but one should-be-reliable method to do this should be to deactivate your current ports to remove any confusion about x11 and quartz variants, and then install gimp +quartz, something like this:

sudo port -f deactivate active
sudo port -v -N install gimp +quartz

Some ports like yelp only work +x11, which is why we still default to that on MacPorts, although this is under discussion.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Certainly it was intended that the port should be installable with only the quartz variant. Perhaps something has broken.

The real error in the log is:

error: implicit declaration of function 'gdk_quartz_pasteboard_type_to_atom_libgtk_only' is invalid in C99

[chicagotripp (Altoine Barker)]

Ken,

I have performed your method and I still find myself stuck with gtk2 building with the +quartz variant. I will outline my journey following your advice.

sudo port -d deactivate active
sudo port -d selfupdate && sudo port -d upgrade outdated
sudo port -d install xorg-server nano
sudo port -d -N install gimp +quartz +animation

Latest error log of following installation resolution suggestion.

[chicagotripp (Altoine Barker)]

I found that it builds fine on my other Mac running Catalina 10.15.6 (Beta) Build 19G73, XCode 11.0, Macports 2.6.3. The XCode is the only difference besides hardware. My other hardware is a MacBook Pro 16 (2019) and the one with the stable XCode is a MacBook Pro 15 (Mid-2015). It has these ports installed with the following variants, yet working:

port installed|grep x11

  cairo @1.16.0_0+quartz+x11 (active)
  gd2 @2.3.0_0+x11 (active)
  ghostscript @9.52_0+x11 (active)
  giflib @4.2.3_0+x11 (active)
  graphviz @2.40.1_2+pangocairo+x11 (active)
  py27-cairo @1.18.2_0+quartz+x11 (active)
  py38-cairo @1.19.1_0+quartz+x11 (active)

port installed|grep gimp

  gimp-help-en @2.10.0_0 (active)
  gimp2 @2.10.18_4+python27+quartz (active)

Maybe something in XCode 12 Beta 3 is breaking the build? I hope this helps. My install with the stable XCode 11 is not a fresh install. I will wipe everything and rebuild to see if I am able to replicate the same behavior as my system running XCode 12 Beta 3.

[chicagotripp (Altoine Barker)]

I have XQuartz installed on my stable system instead of the macports provided xorg-server. I'll look in to that as well.

[chicagotripp (Altoine Barker)]

The stable XCode 11.0 system that has gtk2 built with only the +quartz variant has the following gtk ports installed:

port installed|grep gtk

  gtk-doc @1.32_1+python38 (active)
  gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3 @2.0.8_0 (active)
  gtk-osx-application-gtk2 @2.0.8_0 (active)
  gtk-osx-application-gtk3 @2.0.8_0 (active)
  gtk2 @2.24.32_0+quartz (active)
  gtk3 @3.24.21_0+quartz (active)
  py27-pygtk @2.24.0_3+quartz (active)

[chicagotripp (Altoine Barker)]

My beta XCode 12 Beta 3 system that fails to compile gtk2 +quartz -x11 variant has the following gtk ports installed:

port installed|grep gtk

  gtk-doc @1.32_1+python38 (active)
  gtk3 @3.24.21_0+quartz (active)

It has the following +x11 variant enabled ports installed:

port installed|grep x11

  cairo @1.16.0_0+quartz+x11
  gd2 @2.3.0_0+x11
  ghostscript @9.52_0+x11
  giflib @4.2.3_0+x11
  graphviz @2.40.1_2+pangocairo+x11
  pango @1.42.4_2+quartz+x11
  py27-cairo @1.18.2_0+quartz+x11

I hope this helps.

[kencu (Ken)]

For one thing, please don't compile with +quartz -x11 as that may well cause some things to break.

Just use +quartz. Somethings want to build with both +quartz +x11 so let them do so.

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

Replying to kencu:

For one thing, please don't compile with +quartz -x11 as that may well cause some things to break.

Just use +quartz. Somethings want to build with both +quartz +x11 so let them do so.

If it is actually possible to install gtk2 with both +quartz and +x11 then why do they show as conflicting when I do port variants gtk2?

$ port variants gtk2
gtk2 has the variants:
   bundle: Support including into a bundle
     * requires quartz
   quartz: Enable native macOS graphics support
     * conflicts with x11
   universal: Build for multiple architectures
[+]x11: Enable X11 support
     * conflicts with quartz

[kencu (Ken)]

I was thinking of pango and cairo, possibly others, with that suggestion, although those ports force +x11 on even if you are trying to disable it.

Can you try your installation without adding any additional variants beyond quartz?

Let's just do the bare minimum here for now:

sudo port -f uninstall installed
sudo port -v -N install gtk2 +quartz

and see if and where that errors.

[chicagotripp (Altoine Barker)]

Ken,

That works. It builds successfully, if I have that as the first port to install using XCode 11.06. It doesn't build with XCode 12 Beta 3. I suspect it is the XCode Beta 3. I looked in to the release notes on XCode 12 Beta 3 and saw this from ​https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-12-beta-release-notes:

Deprecations

Quartz Composer is deprecated and won’t launch.

If you need to move assets out of existing compositions, use the Quartz Composer app in the Additional Tools for Xcode 11.4 package from the Apple Developer website. (64181908)

Apple Clang Compiler Deprecations

The stand-alone system assemblers for i386, x86_64, and arm are deprecated and may be removed in a future Xcode release. Using the as command with the -Q flag shows a warning that instructs you to transition to Clang’s integrated assembler and the -q flag. The as(1) driver will remain, as a standard way to invoke Clang’s integrated assembler, as well as any assemblers installed by the developer. (61299833)

[kencu (Ken)]

yeah, using beta versions of new compilers is a recipe for heartburn unless you're quite good at troubleshooting things.

[dubiousjim]

I have Xcode 11.6 and Mac OS 10.15.6. sudo port deactivate active; sudo port install gtk2 +quartz fails. My /opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf has +no_x11 -x11 +quartz -universal.
