From official GNOME docs:

"Attention: PyGTK 2.24 will be the last release in the PyGTK series and will support the full GTK-2-24 API. PyGTK should not be used for new projects and existing PyGTK applications are recommended to be ported to PyGObject. See here for more information."

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGTK/WhatsNew224

Please stop asking me to update this package. I only "keep" it, so that it is not messed with by others, as some older applications still rely on it to function.

Thank you.

@creyon, thanks for maintaining this. Here's the proper way to define the optional dependencies:

Hopefully those issues are fixed now.

creyon commented on 2024-05-30 15:11 (UTC)

@micwoj92 Ah, thank you, I understand. I will look into fixing that.

micwoj92 commented on 2024-05-28 18:47 (UTC)

This is because in order for the to become "optdepends" they need to be present at compile time.

If you compile pygtk, then install libglade and/or python2-numpy you will not get anything extra and will have to recompile pygtk. This is not how software is packaged for Arch Linux.

creyon commented on 2024-05-26 20:34 (UTC)

@patlefort I'm not sure I understand. The README on the PyGTK archive repo lists gtk2, libglade and numpy as optional dependencies, and the package compiles without any of them installed.

gtk2 is indeed missing entirely, so I should at least add that to optdepends, but I'm wondering what you mean by "required at compile time". In what way are they required?

--- https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/pygtk/-/blob/master/README

Requirements
  • C compiler (GCC, MSVC and mingw supported)
  • Python 2.3.5 or higher
  • PyGObject 2.21.3 or higher
  • Pycairo 1.0.2 or higher
  • Glib 2.8.0 or higher
  • GTK+ 2.8.0 or higher (optional) or GTK+ 2.10.0 or higher for 2.10 API [...] GTK+ 2.22.0 or higher for 2.22 API GTK+ 2.24.0 or higher for 2.24 API
  • libglade 2.5.0 or higher (optional)
  • pycairo 1.0.2 or higher (optional)
  • numpy (optional)

patlefort commented on 2024-05-25 20:11 (UTC)

Missing gtk2 in dependencies. Also both optdepends shouldn't be optional since they are required at compile time.

creyon commented on 2024-05-19 23:02 (UTC)

Okay, I applied -fpermissive. I also fixed the license identifier to be SPDX-compliant (thank you @HurricanePootis again for the suggestion), and removed some (hopefully) unnecessary dependencies. I tried to build in a clean chroot, but I'm very tired and didn't want to wrangle python2 dependencies so I gave up. Let me know if you experience any issues.

creyon commented on 2024-05-19 18:34 (UTC)

Hi all. I will get around to resolving this issue soon.

It seems that GCC14 upgraded some warnings into errors, namely -Wint-conversion and -Wimplicit-function-declaration. https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-14/porting_to.html#warnings-as-errors

The article above does indeed suggest to use -fpermissive for old code, so that's what I'll do, rather than patching the source to fix the issue directly or using GCC13. Thank you @HurricanePootis for the suggestion.

The flag -fpermissive needs to be added to the cflags and cxxflags.

Same issue, source code which pygtk is built from is probably outdated, and needs to be fixed.
