[Geany-Devel] OSX plugin development

Thanks for telling me about the update on the status of ctags/libgit2.

 

So I have an inline search plugin that opens a non-decorated dialog with a keyboard shortcut, much like searching text in popular browsers like Chrome or Firefox.

 

The problem is, when I hit my keyboard shortcut, I don’t get focus in the GtkEntry like I used to on linux.  However, I was also using an older version of geany at the time I worked on this plugin last on linux.

 

Here is the source code for my plugin:  https://github.com/sblatnick/geany-plugins/blob/dev/quick-search/src/quick-search.c

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

I don't remember doing anything special regarding focus with Geany. What exactly happens?

 

By the way the jhbuild modules have been updated upstream with the new ctags version so when you rebuild ctags, libgit2 should be compiled alright.

THANK YOU.  I just built and used one of my plugins 😊

 

For some reason, the focus is messed up on this plugin.  Do I need to handle window focus differently on mac perhaps?

 

Thanks,

Hi Steve,

 

it sounds to me like this bug in cmake:

 

https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/merge_requests/1295

 

You might be able to fix it by updating cmake to the latest version. Check

 

Source/jhbuild/modulesets/bootstrap.modules

 

and update cmake to the latest release. The modules file also contains some patch to cmake - not sure if it's needed even with the latest release and if it applies - you might need to remove it.

 

Alternatively using XCode 8 should help too in this case as it doesn't contain the new function and shouldn't confuse cmake.

 

I'll report the issue to gtk-osx so it gets updated in the project.

 

By the way, this error happens in Geany plugins dependency which means Geany is already built at this point. You should be able to run it from jhbuild shell and be also able to test your plugin. You could also edit the geany.modules file and remove the libgit2 dependency. This means you won't be able to compile the git-changebar plugin but everything else should compile fine.

So I tried again with a clean directory after removing libgit2 from homebrew, but it appears geany-osx is intended to build with 10.13 and I’m using 10.12.6.  I’m still getting stuck on libgit2 somehow.

 

Here is what I’m seeing:

Hi Steve,

 

yeah, I meant a different login. 

 

Oh, you use MacPorts too. I had some problems with MacPorts and jhuild in the past so that definitely could be it as well.

Thanks again for the quick reply.

When you say to use a separate account, do you mean a different login to osx? I'm not sure I can do that since this is a laptop I was issued from work that I wish to use geany plugins on. I think my best bet is to uninstall any homebrew (and macport?) gtk libraries and try again. 

Sorry I made you repeat your initial advice. I should have mentioned I didn't think I could try another account. If removing homebrew and deleting the gtk directory don't fix it, I suppose using jhbuild python is my next best option from your original email.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

 

I found this issue

 

https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/17101

 

not sure if it's related.

 

In your case I suspect either some clash with Homebrew (in this case I recommend building in a separate account) or that you built part of the dependencies on previous macOS system and then upgraded to High Sierra where symbols in system libraries may differ. In this case I'd suggest deleting the whole gtk directory and starting over to make sure everything is built on the new system.

Hi Steve,

 

I slightly remember I got an error like this one in the past but I don't remember what exactly the problem was. Anyway, it's not good to mix dependencies from homebrew and jhbuild. If you have some environment variables set up to link against homebrew libraries, this is what could cause problems. I created a separate account on my machine from which I do the Geany build to be sure nothing like that is set up.

 

If you keep getting the error, you might also consider building python as part of the build process which is then used instead of the system python for the rest of the build. This means running

 

jhbuild bootstrap

jhbuild python

jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap

jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-core

 

When doing a change like that, it's best to remove the gtk directory because it changes dependencies and basically everything has to be rebuilt.

 

Apart from that everything else should work as described here:

 

https://github.com/geany/geany-osx

 

When al the dependencies are built, you should be able to use the same stuff you use under linux for building your plugin. But be sure to run the build within a jhbuild shell - you need to run

 

jhbuild shell

 

which sets up the environment variables to use the dependencies built by jhbuild after you should be able to build your plugin in a normal way.

 

Let me know if you run into more problems.

 

Cheers,

 

Jiri

But not the ....so file.

 

Thanks for any help,
