GTK UI built improperly on Mac OS X?

[dobbs]

I built Transmission 2.76 (and 2.75) from source on my old Mac. The daemon works great, but the GTK program aborts:

Code: Select all

Dependencies installed via Macports. It wouldn't build with GTK2 alone, but GTK2 is pulled-in by other ports, so now I have both...

Code: Select all

The following ports are currently installed:
  curl @7.28.1_0+ssl (active)
  dbus-glib @0.100_0 (active)
  gettext @0.18.2_0 (active)
  intltool @0.50.2_0 (active)
  libnotify @0.5.2_3+quartz (active)
  libtool @2.4.2_3 (active)
  openssl @1.0.1c_0 (active)
  gtk2 @2.24.14_1+no_x11+quartz (active)
  gtk3 @3.6.2_0+no_x11+quartz (active)

Configured with these options:

Code: Select all

--enable-nls --enable-daemon --enable-cli --disable-mac --disable-wx --enable-libnotify --with-gtk

Is it possible the configure script detected Mac OS and enable something I didn't want? Did I miss a dependency? Something else?

Wow. I've no idea what the fix is, but I'd love to hear how it works out for you.

[dobbs]

Ah. Here's the problem: removeAllItems was introduced in OS X 10.6. I said this was an old Mac; it's running 10.5. :/ I'll have to see if the GTK people are interested in fixing this.

If all else fails, I suppose I could switch GTK3 to the X11 backend... Bah.

[dobbs]

Oh hey, an update! The GTK folks gave me a test patch: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691921

Seems to work. However, GTK seems to render some things with darker background colors. Not really a problem, but a little weird looking. Anyone else building Transmission GTK seeing this kind of discoloration?


(note the dark grey backgrounds for disabled menu items and toolbar buttons)
