[Geany-Devel] OSX plugin development

[Jiří Techet]

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
