Self-compiled GTK4: artefacts and missing icons
#1
I compiled GTK4 in my home directory (specifically, in /home/mobian/build) because I want to use the latest version of Megapixels on Mobian. Compilation itself went fine, but for some reason, most icons are missing, and I'm getting strange coloured artefacts.

Megapixels: https://i.imgur.com/K4qRRmL.png

To see if I wasn't missing anything, I followed the same steps to compile GTK4 on my Gentoo desktop, and the demo application there looks normal: https://i.imgur.com/ocFLhbC.png The key difference is that I used the Wayland backend on the PinePhone, and the X11 backend on Gentoo.

The packages I manually compiled are atk-2.36.0, gdk-pixbuf-2.42.6, glib-2.68.2, gobject-introspection-1.68.0, gtk-4.3.0, libepoxy-1.5.8, pango-1.48.5, and wayland-protocols-1.21. Other dependencies are installed systemwide from Mobian's standard repos (total package list here: http://dpaste.com/A3WZZ8Q2N). Environment variables:

Has anyone seen issues like these on the PinePhone before, and if so, is there a simple fix (that doesn't involve switching distros or installing GTK4 systemwide)?

How could you even compile megapixels ?
I am failing on mobian with:
Code:
meson.build:6:0: ERROR: Dependency "zbar" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake
zbar-tools and zbar-cam are installed.

Megapixels is running so smoth on Arch and I want to have the same experience on Mobian... Wink

You need the -dev packages of all the dependencies. For zbar, that's libzbar-dev.

@Zombie Feynman Can you post your gtk4 build command line? Mine keeps failing with various complaints and I do not seem to be able to tell it to build for Wayland. Using instructions from https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/building.html.

First of all, sorry for the late reply.

Since GTK4 is now in Mobian's repos, I haven't touched this self-build in a while, but in any case I compiled GTK in /home/mobian/build by setting the following variables:
Code:
export CPPFLAGS="-I/home/mobian/build/include ${CPPFLAGS}" \
    LDFLAGS="-L/home/mobian/build/lib -L/home/mobian/build/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu ${LDFLAGS}" \
    PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/home/mobian/build/lib/pkgconfig:/home/mobian/build/share/pkgconfig:/home/mobian/build/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}" \
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/mobian/build/lib:/home/mobian/build/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" \
    PATH="/home/mobian/build/bin:${PATH}" \
    GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR="/home/mobian/build/share/glib-2.0/schemas"

Apart from that I mostly just followed that same guide. You need to self-compile atk, gdk-pixbuf, glib, gobject-introspection, libepoxy, pango and wayland-protocols before GTK itself. Every invocation of meson should have --prefix=/home/mobian/build as an option, and for GTK itself, you need to disable the x11 backend by adding -Dx11-backend=false.
