0.49.X "desktop.o" build failure (MacPorts, latest gtkmm, glibmm)

[Gabriel Ulici]

I`m trying to compile the latest version of Inkscape (0.49.X) on Mac OS X Lion (10.7.5) with MacPorts. I run autogen and configure with no problem but when i execute the make command i receive this error. I added even the terminal output for help.

> Gabriels-MacBook:inkscape Gabe$ ./configure --disable-static --enable-shared --prefix=/Development/Projects/inkscape_source/inkscape/build --enable-osxapp

Unless you plan on working on the packaging scripts, enabling osxapp won't allow to produce usable builds (from the command line) - it is only required in combination with the packaging scripts (to create Inkscape.app), but the packaging routines in 'src/packaging/macosx' are currently broken (as is, the launcher no longer compiles on Snow Leopard and later versions of OS X).

Correction (of hidden comment #3)

Please use the same setup as the MacPorts Portfile [1]: local tests on OS X 10.7.5 confirm that using the configure option '--disable-strict-build' allows to compile inkscape trunk r12320 (state of latest inkscape-devel portfile) outside the MacPorts tree without failure, with the latest versions of glib, glibmm and gtkmm as currently patched and installed via MacPorts (see comment #2). Without that configure option, compiling trunk fails as reported.

AFAICT related earlier report:
- Bug #1122774 “Build failure (trunk) on Ubuntu Raring and Fedora 18”

Thanks, now it compiles.

about the comment #4 did not knew that the launcher does not work anymore.

[Samuel Chase (samebchase)]

I can confirm the same build errors on the latest (as of today) ArchLinux r:12340

[Jon A. Cruz (jon-joncruz)]

Fixed against current macports in revision #12347.

[su_v (suv-lp)]

When compiling with USE_IMAGE_MAGICK, WITH_LIBCDR and WITH_LIBVISIO defined, these additional changes (see attached diff) are required to be able to compile current trunk without using the configure option '--disable-strict-build'. Patch tested on OS X 10.7.5 with up-to-date MacPorts (global +quartz variant, GTK2 + GTK3 build).

Please review - the proposed changes are based on those seen in r12347.

[su_v (suv-lp)]

Revision r12347 breaks building with older versions of glib/glibmm/gtkmm (including current Windows builds), see
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.devel/40481/focus=40590>

[Jon A. Cruz (jon-joncruz)]

Optional features updated in revision 12356. Should complete the fix for now.

[su_v (suv-lp)]

Note: Current fix breaks experimental GTK3 builds with external GDL >= 3.6.x (on OS X 10.7.5) -> filing a separate report is on my TODO list (trigger seems to be including 'config.h').

Closing this report as 'Fix Released' in accordance with
