@matthewbauer, thanks for your PR! By analyzing the history of the files in this pull request, we identified @vcunat, @jwiegley and @cillianderoiste to be potential reviewers. |

Just tried this one on my darwin box, it did build nicely. When running gimp it does start, but it does not render any text. @matthewbauer is it working for you correctly? Did you have to apply any tweaks to make fonts work with the quartz backend? |
|
@johbo Okay, this should be fixable. When you run gimp, are you getting something like We may need to have to fix the OS X version of fontconfig for this to work correctly. |
|
Yes, indeed, I am getting exactly this error. |
|
Is this WIP then? |
|
@matthewbauer did the fonts actually work in your case? I'd love to get this working, but seems I would need a hint to proceed. |
|
No I don't think so. I would try getting rid of the fontconfig input and
hoping it finds coretext.

Got some progress, thanks for the hint. I've added CoreText in a few places until the configure scripts did detect it. I've changed cairo and pango currently, not yet sure though if both changes are needed. |
|
@matthewbauer I got the font problem sorted and tested your change on top of it, now I got to see the fonts. I've pushed the testing code into my fork at https://github.com/johbo/nixpkgs/tree/test-gimp-darwin in case you are interested. |

@johbo Awesome! You should open a new pull request so it can be more visible. |

Okay, this should be mergeable but only after #21382 is merged. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
You can replace variables like that with substitute, perhaps that's a little bit nicer.
substitute gtk-mac-bundler.in $out/bin/gtk-mac-bundler \
--subst-var-by PATH $out/share

Motivation for this change
This adds some tricks to get GIMP to build on my Darwin machine.
GTK2 has a quartz backend that we haven't been using. I'm not sure why it's not being used but it should probably be enabled by default. While GIMP may work without GTK +quartz, I XQuartz is really annoying to use and not my preference.
For some reason PyGTK and GTK2 +quartz don't seem to work well. It's really confusing because it looks like at some point the MacPorts project had everything working well but the compiler seems to treat objc headers like they are c header. See https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37713.
Note: This does not produce an "Application" yet on Darwin. It should be possible but our GIMP release does not seem to produce the correct "gtk-mac-bundler" .bundle file (see the gimp/build/osx/gimp-2.8.bundle file).
