Build and using glib in Mac os - failed!

Reference - https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-building.html

1. Downloading glib code.

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/glib/

2. Extract the archive and run ./configure

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:glib-2.39.2 sancho$ ./configure

....

configure: error: in `/Users/sancho/Downloads/glib-2.39.2':

configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.  Make sure it

is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full

path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBFFI_CFLAGS

and LIBFFI_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

See the pkg-config man page for more details.

To get pkg-config, see <http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/>.

See `config.log' for more details

There is no pkg-config.. we need to find and install it.

2-1. Download pkg-config code and install

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/

http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:pkg-config-0.28 sancho$ ./configure 

...

checking for GLIB... no

configure: error: Either a previously installed pkg-config or "glib-2.0 >= 2.16" could not be found. Please set GLIB_CFLAGS and GLIB_LIBS to the correct values or pass --with-internal-glib to configure to use the bundled copy.

shit.. we should use the glib in pkg-config source internally to build it. 

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:pkg-config-0.28 sancho$ ./configure --with-internal-glib

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:pkg-config-0.28 sancho$ make

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:pkg-config-0.28 sancho$ sudo make install

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:pkg-config-0.28 sancho$ pkg-config 

Must specify package names on the command line

success.. let's retry ./configure in glib source directory.

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:glib-2.39.2 sancho$ ./configure

...

checking for LIBFFI... no

configure: error: Package requirements (libffi >= 3.0.0) were not met:

No package 'libffi' found

shit...... what the libffi???

I don't know it even if read below link but we should install it to build fucking glib.

2-2. Download libffi code and install

http://sourceware.org/libffi/

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:libffi-3.0.13 sancho$ ./configure

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:libffi-3.0.13 sancho$ make

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:libffi-3.0.13 sancho$ sudo make install

success without any exception! let's retry again ./configure in glib source directory..

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:glib-2.39.2 sancho$ ./configure 

...

configure: error: 

*** You must have either have gettext support in your C library, or use the

*** GNU gettext library. (http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html

fucking gettext.. go to the above link and download the source and build and install it.

2-3. Download gettext and install

http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:gettext-0.18.3.1 sancho$ ./configure 

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:gettext-0.18.3.1 sancho$ make

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:gettext-0.18.3.1 sancho$ sudo make install

Good. Fortunately, success without any error. If it is, I would stop this fucking build!

Let's retry again ./configure in glib source directory :)

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:glib-2.39.2 sancho$ ./configure 

...

checking for libintl.h... no

configure: error: 

*** You must have either have gettext support in your C library, or use the

*** GNU gettext library. (http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html

fuck!!!! I installed it!!!!! hmm.. what's the problem? Once, I checked the location of libintl.h

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:glib-2.39.2 sancho$ find /usr -name "libintl.h"

/usr/local/include/libintl.h

find: /usr/sbin/authserver: Permission denied

It is in /usr/local/include. Once, I checked the config.log and found the problem like below.

 639 configure:7963: checking libintl.h usability

 640 configure:7963: gcc -c -g -O2  conftest.c >&5

 641 conftest.c:66:10: fatal error: 'libintl.h' file not found

 642 #include <libintl.h>

 643          ^

 644 1 error generated.

 645 configure:7963: $? = 1

shit.... this stupid configure script operated the gcc without -I option.

hmm.. remove the gettext installed just before and install newly with prefix /usr.

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:gettext-0.18.3.1 sancho$ ./configure --prefix=/usr

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:gettext-0.18.3.1 sancho$ make

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:gettext-0.18.3.1 sancho$ sudo make install

I checked the libintl.h in /usr/include.

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:gettext-0.18.3.1 sancho$ ls -al /usr/include/libintl.h 

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  16654 12 31 22:34 /usr/include/libintl.h

Ok, let's retry ./configure again in glib source directory.

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:glib-2.39.2 sancho$ ./configure 

...

checking for libintl.h... no

configure: error: 

*** You must have either have gettext support in your C library, or use the

*** GNU gettext library. (http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html

failed...... :( what's the problem? default include path?

I set the default include path like below and retry configure.

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:Downloads sancho$ declare -x C_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/include/"

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:glib-2.39.2 sancho$ ./configure 

...

checking for libintl.h... yes

checking for ngettext in libc... no

checking for bindtextdomain in -lintl... no

checking if -liconv is needed to use gettext... 

checking for ngettext in -lintl... no

configure: error: 

*** You must have either have gettext support in your C library, or use the

*** GNU gettext library. (http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html

fortunately, it found the libintl.h but there is library dependency problem.

libiconv may be required to link gettext. This problem was already mentioned in glib manual page.

2-4. Download iconv and install it.

http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:libiconv-1.14 sancho$ ./configure --prefix=/usr

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:libiconv-1.14 sancho$ make

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:libiconv-1.14 sancho$ make install

retry configure in glib directory.

sanchoui-MacBook-Air:glib-2.39.2 sancho$ ./configure --prefix=/usr

...

checking for LIBFFI... no

configure: error: in `/Users/sancho/Downloads/glib-2.39.2':

configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.  Make sure it

is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full

path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBFFI_CFLAGS

and LIBFFI_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

See the pkg-config man page for more details.

To get pkg-config, see <http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/>.

See `config.log' for more details

But......

libcups2 could not find a symbol in iconv, so pkg-config was not be operated!!!

Furthermore, some applications were not be launched normally also..

I guessed that the version of iconv just installed is improper with libcups2 in my macbook..

I rebooted my macbook and checked it could not be booted also. :(

Eventually I initialized again my macbook. shit.
