It's depend of your goal. Reimplent Gimp as a webapp is surely not a fine idea :) Even there if some mini-gimp implemented today in JS/HTML5. But for a management software ? I have big hopes with this special GNAT flavour outputting webassembly. Coupling Ada_GUI with this compiler could produce amazing results, but made it for real is far from my skills...

Right, but HTTP interfaces are far more volatile than GTK/GtkAda may ever dream of... I think the OP has a very simple problem that a console is created for the application. Furthermore, it is possible that there are multiple GTK installations conflicting with each other.

Well, not so unimportant. It is BSD and that is a really bad omen. I had immense networking problems with FreeNAS daily crashes, abysmal performance. FreeNAS is also BSD. Then Ubuntu rolled out ZFS support. I migrated my NAS to Ubuntu and since then had no problems whatsoever. Network access is many times faster and the system runs months without reboot. > re: which, I thought it might be interesting to try building GTK. Good > grief ... > > https://forward-in-code.blogspot.com/2021/08/not-building-gtk-on-big-sur.html Last time I looked GTK required bootstrapping. It was a very complicated process because GTK had recursive dependencies in the packages. I remember pkg-config was ultimately dependent on itself, or something like that. Though having there a somehow working installation should massively ease the process. -- Regards, Dmitry A.

I don't suppose one would base a NAS on a macbook pro! I was actually intending to admit that some aspects of software development on macOS are less than convenient; largely because of it being Yet Another Application Interface, rolling up as a less popular relation of the Unixes, Windows etc of the world and faced with 10 layers deep #ifdefs, autoconf, etc horror.

The kernel is based upon Mach, developed at Carnegie-Mellon to be a BSD replacement kernel. Hence predates FreeBSD.

True, but when you detect a performance issue in the GUI it is too late to do anything. GUI libraries force designs when the whole application is built around the GUI.

The testgtk program does the same thing, a window opens up with the program shrunk to 1/4 size against a black background. The gtk3-demo is slightly different in that it opens up on its own but I think again it is 1/4 of the size it should be and the mouse clicks do not work where they should. I’m on macOS 15.5.2. Other programs run from the terminal (python with qt GUI) work okay.

Without removing it the programs won't run at all, unless you've turned off system integrity protection (bad idea). And having removed it, as I said, I see the same unexpected behaviour you do.

Perhaps I should turn gatekeeper back on :-) I've had it turned off for a while to, as you point out, get ada programmes running at all.

I forgot to mention that in Readme, I'll change it on SF. I should package the whole as you do for GNAT. > Also, on page 2 of > https://blady.pagesperso-orange.fr/telechargements/gtkada/gtk-ada.pdf, > it should say > $ PATH=/opt/gnat-ce-2021/bin:$PATH > not > $ PATH=/opt/gnat-ce-2021:$PATH Thanks for the typo, fixed in source text. The reported behavior by Gareth and you is quite puzzling. Maybe one configuration difference could be Xcode. I installed only Xcode (no CL tools): % xcodebuild -version Xcode 12.5.1 Build version 12E507 % pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables' found at '/'. % xcode-select -p /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer I guess nothing relevant was printed in the Terminal. However, could you check the dylib loading with DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES? For instance: % DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES=1 ./gtk3-demo Other ideas are welcome :-) Pascal. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 30+ messages in thread
