Pointer/solution for macos installation (brew)

[adam-kral]

Hi, I wanted to share how I made the installation work on my mac with brew.

I installed all the depedencies, but got stuck on an error that libsoup of version 2.4 was not found. Later, I solved it using the following commands:

brew unlink libsoup
brew install libsoup@2
brew link libsoup@2   # makes this version accessible in /usr/bin or something like that for gtimelog's dependencies to find it
brew install adwaita-icon-theme  # otherwise all the button icons were missing

(It's not all of the dependencies to install, because I don't remember the commands, but that was easy. It's the most tricky part that I couldn't solve for a long time. I don't know brew that well. And I expect many mac's gtimelog users to be in a similar situation – if they've just transferred to mac from ubuntu like me.)

Works perfectly! Thank you so much!!

Hi, I have difficulties to install it on mac macbook pro m3 max. I ran your commands successfully, but if I try again pip install, I still get

Collecting PyGObject (from gtimelog)
  Using cached pygobject-3.48.2.tar.gz (715 kB)
  Installing build dependencies ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

Surely there must be more information about the error available somewhere in the terminal output? My guess would be it failed to find the development headers for some dependent library like Glib or maybe Python. Or maybe a working C compiler?

Since I've never owned a Mac, I'm afraid my ability to help debug Mac issues is going to be limited.
