gnucash @4.11_1: gnc-main-window.c:80:10: fatal error: 'gtkmacintegration/gtkosxapplication.h' file not found

[JDLH (Jim DeLaHunt)]

When I try to port install gnucash, the building phase consistently fails when building gnc-main-window.c with the message, "fatal error: 'gtkmacintegration/gtkosxapplication.h' file not found". The indicated line reads, #include <gtkmacintegration/gtkosxapplication.h>. But that include file seems to exist. Another file, binreloc.c, has the same #include line, but builds without a problem.

I have attached the main.log file for the failing build. The relevant failure part is (line breaks added for clarity):

I believe that there are only three modules which include this header file. One is compiled successfully, one triggers the above error, and one is not yet attempted. (Line breaks inserted in paths for legibility.)

 % grep -Frn "gtkmacintegration/gtkosxapplication.h" $(port work gnucash) | head -5

It sure looks to me like I have this header installed:

% ls -l /opt/local/include/gtkmacintegration-gtk3/gtkmacintegration/gtkosxapplication.h
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  6498 26 Jul 08:50 /opt/local/include/gtkmacintegration-gtk3/gtkmacintegration/gtkosxapplication.h

Expected behaviour: port install gnucash completes without error, and gnucash is installed.

main.log showing "file not found" error

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

binreloc.c only includes gtkmacintegration/gtkosxapplication.h if ENABLE_BINRELOC is defined. I don't see it defined on the command line. It might be defined in an include file, I'm not sure, but if not, that would explain why this file can compile even though gtkmacintegration/gtkosxapplication.h is not found.

gnc-main-window.c fails to compile for the reason stated: it can't find gtkmacintegration/gtkosxapplication.h. For it to be found, the directory containing it would need to be specified as an include path via a -I or -isystem flag. The only flag I see is -I/opt/local/include/gtkmacintegration-gtk3/gtkmacintegration. As you said, the file is actually located at /opt/local/include/gtkmacintegration-gtk3/gtkmacintegration/gtkosxapplication.h so that include path is incorrect. The correct include path would be -I/opt/local/include/gtkmacintegration-gtk3.

[JDLH (Jim DeLaHunt)]

Thank you, Ryan.

It appears that port gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3 supplies that header file:

% port contents gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3  | grep "include.*gtkmacintegration" 
  /opt/local/include/gtkmacintegration-gtk3/gtkmacintegration/gtkosxapplication.h

And it seems that gnucash does not depend on gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3:

% port rdeps gnucash | grep gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3
%

And the buildbots appears to be able to build gnucash: ​https://ports.macports.org/port/gnucash/details/ . So perhaps they do not have gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3 present when they build gnucash.

My next step is to deactivate port gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3 and try again.

[JDLH (Jim DeLaHunt)]

Some other ports which I had installed turned out to depend on port gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3, so I ended up deactivating them all:

% sudo port deactivate gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3 gtk-osx-application-gtk3 goffice gspell darktable inkscape inkscape-app

With that, port gnucash happily built.

So, it appears that port gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3 appears to trigger a bug in port gnucash. How to proceed? I can think of a few ways:

1. In the gnucash Portfile, mark gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3 as a conflicting port.
2. Figure out the nature of the interaction, and make gnucash can ignore gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3's presence.
3. Figure out that gnucash is better off with gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3, figure out how to make the include path be -I/opt/local/include/gtkmacintegration-gtk3 so that #include <gtkmacintegration/gtkosxapplication.h> works, and add gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3 as a dependency.
4. Maybe something else which I have not thought of.

Diagnosing this may require help from upstream. I am on the mailing list already, so I'm willing to try.

[JDLH (Jim DeLaHunt)]

Unfortunately, "built" is not the same thing as "runs correctly". I ran the gnucash built by MacPorts. The new book wizard appeared. I cancelled out of the wizard, and gnucash immediately crashed.

[kencu (Ken)]

Jim, it looks like upstream offers gnucash 4.12, but only for Intel, as a prebuilt binary.

​https://www.gnucash.org/download.phtml

I might suggest to try that, and see if it crashes too. Probably it doesn't, or there would be noise about it upstream.

If it works, and the one in macports crashes, then it's either an arm64 thing, the fact that macports' version is slightly out-of-date, or something in the extensive set of gnome supporting ports that is out of date, patched wrong, not working right with arm64 macs yet, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc

[JDLH (Jim DeLaHunt)]

Thank you, Ken. I have gnucash 4.11 from upstream, as a prebuilt binary. It does not crash.

There is evidence that upstream expects gnucash to compile on arm64.

1. Their [macOS/Quarts build instructions](​https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOS/Quartz) say, "Apple Silicon is first supported in macOS 11. We have never successfully cross-compiled the Gtk stack so you'll probably need an Apple Silicon Mac to build an Apple Silicon native GnuCash. Note that as of October 2022 WebKitGtk isn't able to find its loadable modules so that reports don't render in GnuCash." That would be a curious thing to say if they had never got GnuCash working at all when compiling on Apple Silicon.

2. I am attempting to build gnucash from source, following their instructions. One of their developers is helping me in an [email thread "Various failures while building MacOS/Quartz from source"](​https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2022-November/046373.html). I have not yet got the push-back, "don't try to build on arm64, we know it doesn't work".

It looks like I will need to take up both this crash, and the issue of port gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3 preventing port gnucash from building, with the friendly folks at Gnucash-devel. I think I will wait a bit to see if I can resolve my current thread of building from source first, so that I don't make their list, um, too multi-threaded.

[JDLH (Jim DeLaHunt)]

Clues about this bug, from a ​post "Re: [GNC-dev) Various failures while building MacOS/Quartz from source" to the GnuCash developers list by a knowledgeable developer John Ralls, on Sun, 6 Nov 2022 16:17:23 -0800:

gtkosxapplication is what puts the menus on the menu bar instead of on the window. If you want to build without it you need to hide $PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig/gtk-mac-integration-gtk3.pc.

But that crash hasn't anything to do with gtkosxapplication. I think it's

Try applying ​https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk-osx/-/blob/master/patches/gtk-3.24.33-quartz-window-transient-for.patch to your gtk3-24.34 build.

The fix in gtk itself is ​https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/a2c54c739ed08eac6d360cd3a6ae140e1fab556d but that does a bunch of other stuff too. I committed it after Mattias released 3.23.34.

[kencu (Ken)]

so are you able to test out that patch and see if it fixes things?

​https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk-osx/-/blob/master/patches/gtk-3.24.33-quartz-window-transient-for.patch

[JDLH (Jim DeLaHunt)]

I certainly want to try that patch. I can't promise it will be soon, because I have other projects I am juggling.

Basically, I am making notes in this ticket for future reference.

[JDLH (Jim DeLaHunt)]

I have just observed this bug (I believe) in port gnucash @5.11 .

The GTK version I have installed is gtk3 @3.24.49_1+quartz . 3.24.49 is later than 3.24.33, so the patch referenced above for 3.24.33 might be in the current version of GTK3. And, the URL above for the patch no longer returns content. So it looks like upstream GTK has moved on. I don't know where that leaves me with this bug.

[JDLH (Jim DeLaHunt)]

I just diagnosed this bug a little more.

Port gnucash @5.11 does indeed seem to have a conflict with port gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3, as noted comment:3 .

But it turns out that Port gnucash is a recursive dependent of port gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3, if gtk3 variant +quartz is installed! Gnucash has a variant [+]docs. The +docs variant adds a dependency on port gnucash-docs. gnucash-docs depends on port yelp, which depends on port libhandy, which depends on port glade, which in variant +quartz depends on port gtk-osx-application-gtk3, which depends on port gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3.

The workaround seems to be:

1. deactivate port gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3 and everything which depends on it,
2. install gnucash -docs, which builds gnucash without gnucash-docs,
3. if you are using gtk3+quartz, install glade +quartz (see explanation of this workaround below),
4. install gnucash-docs.

Then you are fine until you next need to rebuild gnucash.

By the way, port glade depends on port gtk3. Both ports have +x11 and +quartz variants, and glade needs to have the same variant as gtk3. But +x11 is the default variant for glade, so if you have gtk3+quartz installed, glade (with no variants stated) will fail to build. The workaround for _that_ is to install glade +quartz first, so that when gnucash-docs installs, it will have the correct variant of glade available.

The fixes I listed in comment:4 still seem to be the right ones for this bug.

[JDLH (Jim DeLaHunt)]

In the log excerpt above, the trigger for the failure seems to be this compiler flag: -I/opt/local/include/gtkmacintegration-gtk3/gtkmacintegration . If it were instead -I/opt/local/include/gtkmacintegration-gtk3, then I suspect the module's statement #include <gtkmacintegration/gtkosxapplication.h> at gnucash/gnome-utils/gnc-main-window.c:80:10 would succeed.

Where does this compiler flag come from? After some digging, I suspect that it is from port gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3 file data/gtk-mac-integration-gtk3.pc.in. It contains:

prefix=@prefix@
exec_prefix=@exec_prefix@
libdir=@libdir@
includedir=@includedir@

Name: gtk-mac-integration-gtk3
Description: Mac menu bar and dock integration for GTK+
Requires: gtk+-3.0
Version: @VERSION@
Libs: -L${libdir} -lgtkmacintegration-gtk3
Cflags: -I${includedir}/gtkmacintegration -DMAC_INTEGRATION

The build process converts this to gtk-mac-integration-gtk3.pc, which contains the following:

prefix=/opt/local
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=/opt/local/lib/gtkmacintegration-gtk3
includedir=/opt/local/include/gtkmacintegration-gtk3

Name: gtk-mac-integration-gtk3
Description: Mac menu bar and dock integration for GTK+
Requires: gtk+-3.0
Version: 3.0.2
Libs: -L${libdir} -lgtkmacintegration-gtk3
Cflags: -I${includedir}/gtkmacintegration -DMAC_INTEGRATION

I suspect that the /gtkmacintegration suffix in the final line is what steers the GnuCash compilation wrong.

It may be that port gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3 should leave the suffix out of this flag. But other ports depend on this port, and I don't know how much work it is to be sure none of them need this flag. Instead, I suspect that an easier fix is to add a directive to the GnuCash portfile, to change the Cflag -I${prefix}/include/gtkmacintegration-gtk3/gtkmacintegration to -I${prefix}/include/gtkmacintegration-gtk3.

[JDLH (Jim DeLaHunt)]

After a lot of looking at the code, I decided it would be easiest to patch the #include <gtkmacintegration/gtkosxapplication.h> to remove the gtkmacintegration/ prefix from the three affected source files. After a bit of confusion about how include directives propagated from CMake files to the compile commands, I figured out that gnucash/gnome/CMakeLists.txt needed an extra entry in its target_include_directories() statement to get the gtkmacintegration include path to the third source file.

The result is ​PR 28546 (commit 967364b). It is awaiting evaluation.

[Jim DeLaHunt <from+github@…>]

In 92ba307caf7207f0f90a6efa1ad9b761cdb87f1d/macports-ports (master):

gnucash: fix 66119, build failure when +quartz (​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/28546)

• Fix gnucash @5.11_0 build failure when +quartz (ticket 66119 gtkmacintegration)

Make gnucash compatible with port gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3 (subport of gtk-osx-application).
The errors came because three GnuCash source files had an import like:
#include <gtkmacintegration/gtkosxapplication.h>
but the include path delivered by port gtk-osx-application-common-gtk3 included the
.../gtkmacintegration/ part. The correct import is:
#include <gtkosxapplication.h>
The affected source files are:

• gnucash/gnome-utils/gnc-main-window.cpp
• gnucash/gnome/window-reconcile.cpp
• libgnucash/core-utils/binreloc.c

Also, gnucash/gnome/CMakeLists.txt did not propagate the include path properly.
CMakeLists.txt must contain a directive like:
target_include_directories(... ${GTK_MAC_INCLUDE_DIRS} )
...to pick up the include dirs discovered by ./CMakeLists.txt:464,
pkg_check_modules(GTK_MAC IMPORTED_TARGET gtk-mac-integration-gtk3).

Fixes ticket 66119 "gnucash @4.11_1: gnc-main-window.c:80:10: fatal error: 'gtkmacintegration/
gtkosxapplication.h' file not found" <#66119>.
The problem only occurs when port gtk3 has the +quartz variant, because that causes
the GnuCash sources to compile in optional "MAC_INTEGRATION" code.

Also, no reinplace of if (WIN32 OR APPLE) necessary

The reinplace "s|if (WIN32 OR APPLE)|if (WIN32)|" in
${worksrcpath}/CMakeLists.txt didn't change anything.
The corresponding change was made upstream in
gnucash/commit/1915dfb0cb255fe26dcd7810c96e855defbc747f
on 2020-10-17.

• Delete obsolete commented-out line from Gnucash portfile.

Closes: #66119
