Building GIMP 2.10 from source on OSX fails on “gimp-debug-tool-2.0”
#1
I was trying to build GIMP 2.10 on OSX for a week now with no success. Most of the problems were all the different dependencies and such. While it took time all of it was solvable but now I think I came to an dead end. I have gone to the stage where I could finally run "make" and after some time of building different things it errors out on "gimp-debug-tool-2.0". Here is the output log:
Code:
Making all in app-tools
 CCLD     gimp-debug-tool-2.0
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
 "_OBJC_CLASS_$_NSString", referenced from:
     objc-class-ref in libappwidgets.a(gimpcriticaldialog.o)

make[2]: *** [gimp-debug-tool-2.0] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I have got similar errors when I was building Qt, OpenCv applications. The problem there was that libraries were missing and I solved it by providing paths to those libraries. But what could possibly be missing when building "gimp-debug-tool-2.0" which seems to be internal tool.
If somebody had any similar experience or has any clue/hint on how I could solve this problem and could point me to the right direction it would be very much appreciated.
Tanks in advance.

Not many (none) OSX users here and even fewer who compile there own anywhere.

You will be better off asking on the developer mailing list, subscribe here

and to view the type of topics (but not post) look here for an examples

Thank you for your reply. Actually I have solved the problem just now. Everything should have worked just fine despite for that debug tool. I do not actually really need debug tool so I was glad to skip it. I have run make command with -k flag which keeps on building even if an error occurs. Luckily there were no other errors so after building and installing it runs just fine on my MacBook.
