The GTK+ port (gtk2) is broken in multiple ways:
1. Did anything change in the base recently? It used to be that
variants chosen are passed on to dependencies as well, but it
appears
that now `port install gtk2 +quartz` and `port install gtk2 +quartz
+no_x11` do different things, although the port gtk2 has "variant
quartz requires no_x11 ..." in it. That is, `port install gtk2
+quartz` installs the X11 version of pango, etc., instead of pango
+no_x11. Same with cairo.
I don't know if something changed in base with regard to this. If
this
worked before, can you do some regression testing to see what
revision of
base broke it?
Oh, this is strange: I tested with 1.6.0, and it doesn't seem to work
with that either: "port install gtk2 +quartz" doesn't seem to pull in
+no_x11 for dependencies. I (and others) were quite sure this used to
work just a month ago or so, but if it doesn't work with 1.6.0... what
can it mean? 1.6.0 hasn't been changed in a long time, right? (Or are
the files at http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/downloads/
MacPorts-1.6.0/
generated from SVN, thus "MacPorts 1.6.0" doesn't refer to any fixed
thing? If this is the case, I will do more detailed regression testing
to pin down the date, and thus the revision which changed things.)
1.6.0 today is the same as 1.6.0 when it was created in r32094 on
2007-12-16. The disk images and the installer packages on them are
created manually, not by an automated process. Well, they're created
using the port called "macports" but this is kicked off by a person,
and the result is tested, and then the disk images are manually
committed into the repository. There is a document somewhere on our
website describing what all gets done when a release is to be made.
If MacPorts base didn't change, maybe the portfile did. Check the log
of the portfile in the repository.
2. After installing (`port install gtk2 +quartz +no_x11`) and
installing any GTK+ application on top of it, all windows display
only
boxes; fonts don't work. This might be related to the recent changes
in cairo, or pango, or something.
I believe I've had some other reports of this but I don't know
how to fix
it. I started a dialog with the developers of pango but I seem to
have
forgotten to follow up. I'm still not sure if this is a pango
problem or a
cairo problem.
Do you have references to that dialogue, to maybe know the current
state of things?
This is nothing terribly urgent of course :)
This is the thread I was thinking of:
