Continuing with my new build, but I didn't get very far. I'm
building various python things before I build the gimp (actually,
gimp-2.10.0-RC2 for this build) and the python2 part of pygobject3
failed. From config.log in the python2 directory:
configure:14658: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "pycairo >= 1.11.1
"
Package pycairo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pycairo.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'pycairo' found
(etc)
But I had just built and installed pycairo-1.17.0, and lookign at
the log from that, *everything* it installed was under
/usr/lib/python{2.7,3.6}/site-packages/ : not a pkgconfig file in
site.
On previous builds (1.16.2, 1.16.3) I had pkgconfig files:
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/py3cairo.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/pycairo.pc
The setup.py script is the usual mass of impenetrable python stuff,
but I see it at least reports if the pkgconfig files are not
installed. And looking at my log, guess what:
running install_pkgconfig
Skipping install_pkgconfig, not supported with bdist_egg
Yeugh!
Since one of the purposes of this build is to sort out a gimp
script, I'll revert to 1.16.3.
Can anybody else confirm my results ?
Yes. In my log for pycairo-1.16.3 I have:
Writing /usr/lib/pkgconfig/pycairo.pc
but no mention of pycairo.pc in my log for pycairo-1.17.0.
I'm not an experienced python person, but setup.py has some code about
this at lines 294-343. It includes comments:
# https://github.com/pygobject/pycairo/issues/83
# The pkg-config file contains absolute paths depending on the
# prefix. pip uses wheels as cache and when installing with --user
# and then to a virtualenv, the wheel gets reused containing the
# wrong paths. So in case bdist_wheel is used, just skip this command.
My pycairo-1.17.0 log says:
Skipping install_pkgconfig, not supported with bdist_egg
It's late, but it sounds like we need another package, but we may be
able to create a sed or patch.
Tomorrow I'll try
sed -i '/308,311/d' setup.py
