gtk 9 no longer builds on msvc
rukai opened this issue · 15 comments
I have my machine setup as per https://web.archive.org/web/20191122174227/https://gtk-rs.org/docs-src/requirements.html
Needing to use the internet archive to access important docs is a separate issue I guess...
gtk 8 builds fine but gtk 9 does not.
Furthermore glib is the failing crate here which I tested independently, glib 9 builds fine but glib 10 fails.
The error is:
error: failed to run custom build command for `glib-sys v0.10.0`
Caused by:
process didn't exit successfully: `C:\Users\rukai\Projects\foo\target\release\build\glib-sys-1268d469ca4ba03d\build-script-build` (exit code: 1)
--- stderr

error: build failed
Those instructions are incomplete unfortunately. We should write proper instructions for Windows and update that. Please take a look at the GTK installation page though: https://www.gtk.org/docs/installations/windows/
You will also need pkg-config. This version for Windows works reasonably well: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgconfiglite/ . The pkg-config crate should ideally install that itself if not found on the system, see rust-lang/pkg-config-rs#103.
Then you would point the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to the directory where GTK, GLib, etc are installed. It should be the full path to the subdirectory that contains the .pc files, e.g. glib-2.0.pc. This is usually the lib/pkgconfig subdirectory.
Once that is done everything should build correctly. If there are still problems, please let us know here (and also the content of the lib/pkgconfig directory and the output of pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0). Thanks!
I installed pkgconfiglite via chocho install pkgconfiglite.
Then I created the PKG_CONFIG_PATH as you described.
However its still failing, but this time with:

PS C:\Users\rukai\Projects\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\lib\pkgconfig> pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0
Package gtk+-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-3.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-3.0' found

That's a bug in vcpkg, it's not installing pkg-config files for gtk apparently (but for glib it does). Please report this here: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/
I submitted microsoft/vcpkg#12282
However it looks like there is an additional issue as even glib by itself is failing, which should be fine as its pkgconfig files exist?
How does glib fail, what happens if you run pkg-config --libs glib-2.0 or pkg-config --libs gobject-2.0?
FWIW, the solution for now would be to either use GTK from msys2 or to build it yourself.
As mentioned in my previous comment:

Ah sorry, missed that in the previous comment.
Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.42' but version of GLib is
This is cut off. What does pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0 say?
its empty:
PS C:\Users\rukai> pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0
PS C:\Users\rukai>
Hm. Can you paste the content of glib-2.0.pc?
prefix=${pcfiledir}/../..
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
glib_genmarshal=glib-genmarshal
gobject_query=gobject-query
glib_mkenums=glib-mkenums

Libs: -L${libdir} -lglib-2.0
Libs.private:
Cflags: -I${includedir}/glib-2.0 -I${libdir}/glib-2.0/include
none of the other gtk .pc files have a version either.
Ah so they exist but are completely broken, yay :) Can you create another vcpkg issue about that?
ok, i'll add it to the existing issue as they are very similar issues.
Thanks for the assistance!

I'm stuck over here with this problem
