Mac build can't find the GTK theme?

stpope · January 4, 2024, 1:48am

Hello all,

I’m able to build and link on the Mac now (after starting from scratch without homebrew), but now the system can’t find the GTK themes.
The same happens for Ardour or Mixbus builds.
The pre-compiled Ardour demo works fine, as does commercial Mixbus.

I build the gtk-engines-2.21.0 library with several themes explicitly enabled, i.e.,
./configure --enable-clearlooks --enable-crux --enable-industrial --enable-animation

and it appears to install the files in /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines
I remove all the temp conf files from /Users/stp/Library/Preferences/Ardour8, etc.

I’m running on a MacStudio M1 Max with Sonoma 14.2.1
This never used to happen…

Any tips?

Many thanks in advance, and Happy New Year!

Stephen in Ojai/CA

Here’s what I do to build

configure & build

./waf configure -vk --with-backends=coreaudio --no-carbon --no-lrdf --backtrace --keepflags --arch=arm64 --arm64 --boost-include=/usr/local/include --cxx1 --debug-symbols
./waf clean
./waf build -k --with-backends=coreaudio --no-carbon --no-lrdf --backtrace --keepflags --arch=arm64 --arm64 --boost-include=/usr/local/include --debug-symbols
./waf i18n

fix install locations (not sure why this is necessary, but it fails to find several libs if I skip it)

export A_BINARY=/Users/stp/Code/Audio/Ardour8/ardour/build/gtk2_ardour/ardour-8.2.12

install

sudo ./waf install

Make sure you make the dependencies like libcairo.dylib visible to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running the Ardour8 binary.
or:
Create your own Mac App bundle. If you do this you might need to use libtool so it can find libcairo.dylib and its friends in your own app bundle.

paul · January 4, 2024, 8:33pm

Ardour’s source contains everything required to create a .app bundle assuming you have the dependency stack available.

However, this is not necessary if you run Ardour via ardev, a script in the gtk2_ardour folder/directory.

paul · January 4, 2024, 8:34pm

AFAIK, nobody has ever tried ./waf install for macOS. It is not likely to work.

Skip the waf install step and use ardev from inside the gtk2_ardour folder.

Dravion · January 4, 2024, 8:37pm

Yeah, this sounds way better

seablade · January 4, 2024, 9:02pm

I did way back… as suspected it did not work:)

Thanks for the assistance, fellows (Paul et al.) !

I fixed my $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (I had commented it out at some point…)

After a fresh config/build pass, running the app (either Ardour or Mixbus) with the ardev script (modified to call lldb) results in similar behavior (see below).

Do any of the warnings make any sense to any of you?

my first guess for the icon messages is that you did not compile the necessary gdkpixbuf modules required for some of our icons.

Dravion · January 5, 2024, 7:03pm

Yeah it even looks very verbose. Half of the log is [info] and [warning] messages and there seems to be a followup memory access error as a result of a non availabe image resource.

I also think its a pixbuff only problem.

This looks like a known bug in gtk/cairo. Try

Thanks 10**6 ! This did the trick; it still complains about missing icons (under investigation), but at least it runs…
