glibglibmm

glibmm-2.4 install not detected on OS X

I am building an application from source, Ardour specifically. During the build config process it exits with the following error:

Checking for 'glibmm-2.4' >= 2.32.0
['/opt/local/bin/pkg-config', 'glibmm-2.4 >= 2.32.0', '--cflags', '--libs', 'glibmm-2.4']
err: Package glibmm-2.4 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glibmm-2.4.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'glibmm-2.4' found
Package glibmm-2.4 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glibmm-2.4.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'glibmm-2.4' found

I use homebrew for package management,so I installed glibmm and glib. However, the build config process still fails.

Solution

  • Figured it out: When using brew

    Add

    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/glib/<VERSION>/lib/pkgconfig to end of ~/.bash_profile. Then run source ~/.bash_profile
