Installing FreeCiv on Apple Silicon

[mkd]

I am trying to install FreeCiv on Apple Silicon and I am running into the following issue:

- I installed GTK(3?) following these steps: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GTK/OSX/Building
- GTK was installed in /Users/myuser/gtk/inst

When I run the freeciv ./configure script I get an error that none of the client dependencies are found:

Code: Select all

checking for gtk+-3.0 >= 3.22.0... no
checking for gtk+-3.0 >= 3.10.0... no
checking for gtk4 >= 4.0.0... no
checking for qtpaths... no
checking for sdl2 >= 2.0.0... no
checking for sdl2-config... (cached) no

So then I tried running ./configure with the environment variable set

Code: Select all

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/Users/myuser/gtk/inst/lib/pkgconfig

. I also checked the binaries and my impression is that the gtk version I had installed is 3.24.42:

Code: Select all

> /Users/myuser/gtk/inst/bin/gtk-launch --version
3.24.42

So that should suffice, no? What am I doing wrong?

Reading the instructions, it seems that it provides a virtual environment for building programs. So just running ./configure will not have access to the build libraries. You probably need to run something like

Code: Select all

$ alias jhbuild="PATH=.new_local/bin:$PATH jhbuild"

, then

Code: Select all

jhbuild ./configure

. I don't know for sure, though.

[Elefant]

The packages installed to the user folder are probably just the runtime libs.

Can you attach config.log from your configure run for us to check what happens with those configure checks?

[mkd]

edit: wrong file was uploaded by accident.

[cazfi]

In that config.log configure had terminated for the lack of libcurl development files.

Ooops, I am sorry. It seems I had an editor that had the older version of the log open. I attached the most recent one.

I ran the following two commands in this order:

Code: Select all

alias jhbuild="PATH=/Users/myuser/.new_local/bin:$PATH jhbuild"
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/Users/myuser/src/curl-8.8.0/artifacts/lib/pkgconfig jhbuild ./configure

And got the following error:

Code: Select all

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

When I just run

Code: Select all

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/Users/myuser/src/curl-8.8.0/artifacts/lib/pkgconfig ./configure

without the jhbuild before the ./configure things seem to go better. Then things usually die off around:

What confuses me now is that the config.log is now complaining about not finding zlib.pc while checking for gtk+-3.0:

Sorry. Command should be

Code: Select all

 jhbuild run ./configure 

(I don't have a mac, so I can't test it)(I can't be sure about this command either, but the idea is to run ./configure in the jhbuild virtual environment).
