wxWidgets-3.0: is not building in 10.12 Sierra beta due to missing QuickTime.h

[reactortrip@…]

I am attempting to install HackRF/GNURadio, wxPython-3.0 is failing to build.

:info:build ../src/osx/core/bitmap.cpp:39:10: fatal error: 'QuickTime/QuickTime.h' file not found
:info:build #include <QuickTime/QuickTime.h>
:info:build          ^

Upstream ticket: ​http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/17639

I didn't install Sierra yet.

Link to an upstream commit in master:

• ​http://trac.wxwidgets.org/changeset/f6a2d1caef5c6d412c84aa900cb0d3990b350938/git-wxWidgets

plus a reference in HomeBrew fighting with the same problem:

• ​https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/1996

I guess we could test the upstream commit and apply it.

... and if that works, we should ask the upstream to backport the fix to the 3.0 and 3.1 branch.

Can you delete an attachment, think I grabbed the wrong main

[reactortrip@…]

main.3.log should be correct, wxWidget-3.0 still didn't build for me with those changes.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

That's:

../src/osx/cocoa/mediactrl.mm:52:10: fatal error: 'QTKit/QTKit.h' file not found
#include <QTKit/QTKit.h>
         ^

See ​http://wxwidgets.10942.n7.nabble.com/Cannot-submit-app-using-wx-to-Mac-App-Store-due-to-QuickTime-API-usage-tp87235p87245.html

The master branch can switch between the ​deprecated QtKit and AV Foundation, but that would require backporting quite a bit more code. As a temporary workaround maybe someting like --disable-mediactrl in configure.flags would help?

[reactortrip@…]

Not sure how to do that through wxPython-3.0

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

In graphics/wxWidgets-3.0/Portfile try to apply the following patch (add that option to configure.flags):

that did it, thanks

I opened a new upstream ticket, but have to wait for moderation before they publish it. I guess we can disable mediactrl on 10.12 until someone needs it and comes up with a patch for it.

Temporary workaround to allow building wxWidgets on Sierra

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

I attached the patch with a workaround. If someone on Sierra can double-check that the patch is ok (and that you can build both wxWidgets-3.0 and wxPython-3.0), I'll commit it.

reactortrip: I'm unable to delete attachments (maybe the admin can), but a trick that works is to upload another file with the same name and tick the checkbox to replace the file. Next time you could rename main.log to main.log.2 and upload that one. Or you could upload an empty file now. But at this moment it doesn't make any sense to worry about faulty uploads unless the file contains some sensitive information.

I added a link to the ​upstream ticket.
