Error Related to pygtk installation

Hello all,

I'm trying to install CherryTree but when I do through YAY it gives me an error related to "pygtk" which is a dependency.

The last block of error message :

pango.c:8634:5: warning: ‘pango_engine_shape_get_type’ is deprecated [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
 8634 |     pyg_set_object_has_new_constructor(PANGO_TYPE_ENGINE_SHAPE);
      |     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

thanks in advance

Firstly, try it without yay.
Secondly, that output doesn't contain the actual error, if you still have trouble building directly with makepkg, use the --log flag and upload the whole thing to a pastebin.

Here is the Full log

PS: I couldn't Find the log argument within Yay so I piped the output to a file , hope that could make it clear.

Of course you couldn't find the log option for yay. Don't use yay:

But in this case, it's probably not relevant. Pygtk is unmaintained. It was dropped from the main repos and has never been patched up to work again.

Any idea how to get CherryTree installed then ?

Your best idea would be to ask the CherryTree developers to not depend on a 10 year old no-longer-supported software. Otherwise adopt and fix pygtk or figure out how to build python2-gtksourceview2 without pygtk (probably not possible).

This was raised upstream 4 years ago. They are, allegedly, working on it. As reported there, there is also a 'snap' of cherry tree which may work.

Thanks man really appreciate your help

I was able to install cherrytree-bin today. You have to install python2-gtksourceview2 first. This didn't work yesterday but today it does as pygtk was updated today. Thereafter cherrytree-bin can be installed without problems.

It wasn't "updated" it was severely broken. In the end it just packages an old version from the main repo archives. If that works, get it direct rather than going through the nonsense in that PKGBUILD.

EDIT: nevermind, it was undone a minute ago by a TU to get rid of the absurd nonsense.

Not only that, I even looked at the upstream git repo for pygtk and discovered that someone committed a patch months ago, which fixes the build failure with current pango versions. So I went and fixed that for real, while I was at it.

Trilby · 2020-04-01 01:01:41

Did you test it? It still fails here: build log from makepkg -s.

eschwartz · 2020-04-01 01:10:10

It built in a clean chroot, and the patch I added caused the failing binding "find_shaper" to no longer be part of pygtk at all (and thus not fail).

You should get "patching file pango.defs" during prepare, which removes the code that failed to compile.

eschwartz · 2020-04-01 01:16:13

Hmm, pango.c is not shipped in the source, because it is generated from pango.defs, however without makepkg -C it might somehow fail to notice it needs to be regenerated?
