[Buildroot] Dependency problem for gtkmm3

[Buildroot] Dependency problem for gtkmm3

[Dirk De Becker]

[-- Attachment #1.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2374 bytes --]

Hi,

I am trying to make a buildroot containing libgtkmm3, but I run into problems.
I did the following steps:
Checkout master from git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot
Select the following things:

  *   BR2_x86_64
  *   BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_CXX
  *   BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D
  *   BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D_GALLIUM_DRIVER_I915
  *   BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D_OPENGL_EGL
  *   BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGTK3
  *   BR2_PACKAGE_GTKMM3

I get the following error in the output of the build attempt for gtkmm3-3.22.0:
configure: error: Package requirements (giomm-2.4 >= 2.49.1 pangomm-1.4 >= 2.38.2 gtk+-3.0 >= 3.22.0 cairomm-1.0 >= 1.12.0 gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.35.5) were not met:

Package 'giomm-2.4', required by 'virtual:world', not found
Package 'pangomm-1.4', required by 'virtual:world', not found
Package 'cairomm-1.0', required by 'virtual:world', not found

It seems that gtkmm3 is dependent on versions of some libraries that are not available.

The following packages were built, but these do not provide the correct versions of these packages, according to pkg-config:

  *   glibmm-2.68.2
  *   pangomm-2.48.2
  *   cairomm-1.16.1

Met vriendelijke groeten, Cordialement, Kind Regards,

I have not looked at the issue, but it seems to match what our
autobuilders have reported at:

  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/172/17263ac51f197031106eb7fd595126a2720f0397/build-end.log

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for your quick reply.
Will this issue be fixed in the 2023.02 release?

Kind regards,

Dirk

It all depends on whether someone submits a fix for the issue. Do you
think you could have a look?

The problem comes down to an incompatibility that I tried to point out some
time ago [0]. Current versions of cairomm, pangomm, glibmm have a different
ABI that's not supported in gtkmm 3.x.y.
Even the most recent version of gtkmm 3.24.x doesn't support the current
version of of the other -mm packages and according to the mailing list of
gtkmm [1] there are no plans to support it. The are compatible with gtk4.

As it stands gtkmm3 isn't usable and fixing it brings up the same problems
of duplicating packages.

  So we have two options:

1. Drop gtkmm3. It has no internal users.

2. Create cairomm112 etc. packages (or whatever the latest working version was) 
and live with their unmaintained status.

  Eventually we'll end up with option 1, of course, since gtkmm3 is EOL itself 
(they're only working on gtkmm4 AFAIU).

  @Dirk in conclusion: the best you can expect for 2023.02 is for the package to 
be dropped, which isn't going to help you, of course.

  Regards,
  Arnout

I have just submitted a patch series [0] that would duplicate the needed
packages. So far it is only compile tested for all of the toolchains that
support it via utils/test-pkg.

As it stands right now, all of these pre-API versions are still maintained,
each seeing their last release about 5 months ago.

If dropping gtkmm3 is the preferred way, let me know.

Just like libgtk3 gtkmm3 is still being worked on, at least for bug fix
releases.

I guess I'm to late with my series for 2023.02.
