VSFM application failed to build, halting

[johanrosenberg]

hi
I got this while installing...

About to make...
mkdir -p build
mkdir -p bin
cd build; ar -x ../lib/VisualSFM.a; cd ..;
Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found

I haven’t built this for years unfortunately! It’s the version of GCC being used which is really old. Try looking for GCC 4.9 references and update perhaps. Keep me posted.

Hi Dan,
I understand I am late for the party.
I updated the installer as follows with all changes shown in BOLD:

brew install gcc49 to brew install gcc**@11**

Plus 3 instances in the script of:
echo "Changing VSFM GCC to Brews gcc-4.9"
S=$(echo CC = g++ -w | sed -e 's///\//g')
R=$(echo CC = g++-4.9 -w | sed -e 's///\//g')
sed -i '' -e "s/${S}/${R}/" makefile

to

echo "Changing VSFM GCC to Brews gcc-11"
S=$(echo CC = g++ -w | sed -e 's///\//g')
R=$(echo CC = g++-11 -w | sed -e 's///\//g')
sed -i '' -e "s/${S}/${R}/" makefile

I got the following error after running the script:

Possibly, the changes I made were incorrect, maybe @ should have been -, however, the gcc@11 install appears to be fine as per:
==> Installing gcc@11
==> Pouring [email protected]
🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/gcc@11/11.3.0: 2,160 files, 459.1MB
==> Running brew cleanup gcc@11...

I hope you may shed some light on how I might modify the script to work today, understanding it is 6 years since you wrote it.

Kind regards,
Wolf
