I am building GTK+ from scratch on Linux. I am very, very close. All dependencies are built, but I am seeing an odd error in the final GTK+ build.
GLib-Genmarshal-WARNING **: failed to open "--valist-marshallers": No such file or directory
Fortunately, I found this old message on gtk-list:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list/2012-April/msg00001.html
Digging deep, I see Ian Liu Rodrigues suggested:
And what about `which glib-genmarshal'? Does it point to the correct binary compiled by you?
I checked my build: Ian was right. The tool glib-genmarshal was being run from /usr/bin, instead of my local build dir ($HOME/saveme/gtk3). Since I am running Debian, the base install includes GLib 2.24.2. AFAIK: Older versions of GLib do not support the arg --valist-marshallers for glib-genmarshal.
I checked the GTK+ configure script. I do not see an override for this issue. To complete the build of GTK+, I am changing my PATH env var:
export PATH=$HOME/saveme/gtk3/bin:$PATH
In my experience with open source, this seems a bit odd. Am I doing the right thing? Or should there be an override available in GTK+ configure script?
Finally, I have a personal policy to contribute docs back to open source projects after I get help with issues on mailing lists. This helps others to avoid the same issues in the future. I would like to contribute a HOWTO to build GTK+ from scratch. Where would be the best to contribute?
A little background info for this mail:
Here are the packages I have built from scratch. Where possible, I use these configure args: --enable-introspection=yes --enable-gtk-doc --enable-debug=yes
