Is your girara version up to date? Could you try a brew update girara?

lamyergeier · 2019-04-17T14:47:05Z

$ brew upgrade girara
Error: zegervdv/zathura/girara 0.3.2 already installed

Do you think if I have to define environment variable for pkgconfig? I am using Ubuntu 18.04

zegervdv · 2019-04-17T14:48:56Z

Oh, this is a macOS version of zathura :)
I'm not expecting it to work on Linux.

lamyergeier · 2019-04-17T16:06:08Z

Many macOs software work via linux brew. I am actually using quite a lot of them. Everything is working fine, just that it is not able to identify the path of the dependency.

zegervdv · 2019-04-17T17:11:49Z

Okay cool, I had no idea they were so interchangeable.
I’ll have to setup a VM to reproduce this myself.

lamyergeier · 2019-04-17T20:41:35Z

I have installed the following with brew (successfully):

pandoc
pandoc-citeproc librsvg
mps-yt
mpv
youtube-dl
hub
zaquestion/lab: Lab wraps Git or Hub, making it simple to clone, fork, and interact with repositories on GitLab
shfmt
shellcheck
neovim

May be you could use docker image of Ubuntu.

Look at my initial post, it says:

Dependency girara-gtk3 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

I think this issue should be solved by defining the path of library girara-gtk3 (being installed by brew as a dependency) with pkgconfig. I think so, because, the custom path where brew installs the library would not be known to pkgconfig (in case of linux). I have never done any such things, but I would also try in the meantime and tell you if I am successful.

Technically, any brew receipe (except casks as those are binary) can be used to install package by building in linux.

zegervdv · 2019-04-17T20:54:14Z

What happens if you “brew link girara” before installing zathura?

lamyergeier · 2019-04-17T20:55:46Z

$ brew link girara
Warning: Already linked: /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/girara/0.3.2
To relink: brew unlink girara && brew link girara

lamyergeier · 2019-04-17T20:58:47Z

From man pkg-config:

       pkg-config  retrieves information about packages from special metadata files. These files
       are named after the package, and has a .pc extension.  On most systems, pkg-config  looks
       in     /usr/lib/pkgconfig,     /usr/share/pkgconfig,     /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig     and
       /usr/local/share/pkgconfig for these files.  It will additionally look in the colon-sepa‐
       rated  (on  Windows,  semicolon-separated)  list of directories specified by the PKG_CON‐
       FIG_PATH environment variable.

But brew installs girara.gtk3 at /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/girara/0.3.2/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/girara-gtk3.pc, this path is not available to pkg-config. I will try to define the environment variable and tell you.

lamyergeier · 2019-04-17T21:10:23Z

So I added the environmental variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH. The following is all the path recognized by pkg-config (see the last path). Source

$ echo $(pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config)${PKG_CONFIG_PATH:+:}${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}

/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig:/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/girara/0.3.2/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig

But I am getting the same error! :(

lamyergeier · 2019-04-17T21:28:32Z

I found this suggestion: meson configure -Dlibdir=lib at girara libraries should be installed in /usr/local/lib ? - Issue #34 - girara. Do you know what commands I have to type to specify this? I thought of trying it.

Sorry, for asking you, but I have never built a brew receipe by myself, and I am not even sure if I could configure the building of package using brew.

zegervdv · 2019-04-18T18:30:23Z

Normally homebrew should set up all the variables it needs based on the dependencies, because if they are installed with brew it knows where they are.
I'm setting up an ubuntu docker image to do some local testing, hang tight.

zegervdv · 2019-04-18T18:36:01Z

What you could try is do a brew edit zathura and above line 29 add:

system "meson configure -Dlibdir=lib"

lamyergeier · 2019-04-19T01:36:35Z

$ brew --prefix
/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew

$ brew link girara
Warning: Already linked: /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/girara/0.3.2

$ ls /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/girara/0.3.2/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
pkgconfig/  libgirara-gtk3.so@  libgirara-gtk3.so.3@  libgirara-gtk3.so.3.1*

As per Meson Website: libdir option is the subdirectory of prefix.

In your receipe, prefix is $(brew --prefix) Line Number 29 . So we have to change this line 29 (as you said).

So to override the default libdir I inserted --libdir .

system "meson build --prefix #{prefix} --libdir ."

But unfortunately this doesn't works.

zegervdv · 2019-04-19T15:54:42Z

You need to point it to the girara prefix. The prefix defined here is the one for zathura.
You could try hardcoding it for now, I'll have to look up how to get the prefix of other packages in homebrew.

zegervdv · 2019-04-27T08:48:36Z

Took a while to set up a test case but I was able to reproduce on Ubuntu 18.04.
I've just pushed a patch which allowed me to build zathura successfully.

zegervdv · 2019-04-27T09:02:05Z

but it's not finding the girara-gtk3 libs now, there must be something off with the install...

zegervdv · 2019-04-27T09:13:39Z

So it seems homebrew isn't linking the girara lib directory to search path.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(brew --prefix girara)/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu zathura

works for now, but that is not a clean solution.

lamyergeier · 2019-04-27T23:10:38Z

zathura is installed without error. But I get the following:

$ type zathura
zathura is aliased to `/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/zathura'

$ zathura -v

error: could not open plugin directory: /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/zathura/0.4.3/Cellar/zathura
/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/zathura: symbol lookup error: /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/zathura: undefined symbol: girara_version

zegervdv · 2019-04-29T06:03:11Z

Did you use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable?
And if you just run zathura does it show the GUI?

lamyergeier · 2019-04-29T07:20:46Z

Yes my bashrc has LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(brew --prefix girara)/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu .

Yes it shows as follows:

zegervdv · 2019-04-29T07:49:04Z

Okay. That error is because you have no plugins installed, can you try the zathura-ps ? And follow the instructions in the caveat to create the plugin directory

lamyergeier · 2019-04-29T17:33:34Z

I will update after pdf works as being tracked in zathura-pdf-poppler: Utils::InreplaceError: inreplace failed · Issue #36 · zegervdv/homebrew-zathura

Thanks!

pasekaalex · 2019-05-08T17:07:13Z

it works but I got 1 more python in my system now... (+_+)

chu- · 2020-02-15T02:18:00Z

python version issue.
brew unlink python #unlink python 2
brew install python #install the latest python 3
brew install zathura
done.

zegervdv · 2020-02-15T11:10:41Z

This is an issue in linuxbrew (for Linux) not homebrew (for Mac OS X).
I'm closing this one as seems to confuse people.

waldyrious · 2020-03-27T19:19:18Z

This seems similar to an issue I had here (it may be relevant for #42 as well). Quoting a comment there:

Homebrew's pkg-config only reports packages installed by Homebrew

For me the solution was to use the distro's pkg-config instead of Homebrew's.
